"I'm Your Daddy" is the second song on Raditude, Weezer's seventh album from 2009, and it followed "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" as the band's second American single in January 2010, entering the Modern Rock Tracks at number thirty. Rivers Cuomo wrote it with Łukasz Gottwald, who produced it as Dr. Luke, with Josh Freese on drums and Rich Costey mixing.
It's shiny, lunkheaded fun, and even critics cool on the album tended to single this one out. Rob Sheffield in Rolling Stone thought Cuomo's readiness to mock his own psychosexual hang-ups made it more touching, Ben Ratliff of the New York Times heard the album's best riff-monster, and The A.V. Club, which gave Raditude a C+, still called it well-crafted pop. Two videos followed, the first premiering on MySpace.
