In a [[Rolling Stone]] article, Weezer lead singer [[Rivers Cuomo]] explains that he got the idea for the song when his daughter, [[Mia Cuomo]], was in the hospital. According to Cuomo, his daughter was hospitalized because her white blood cell count was dropping and doctors were not sure if she would get better. Cuomo sat by her for five days and whispered to her that "You're my baby tonight, and I'm your daddy". From that line, Cuomo then had an idea to turn it into a song after his daughter showed a full recovery. | In a [[Rolling Stone]] article, Weezer lead singer [[Rivers Cuomo]] explains that he got the idea for the song when his daughter, [[Mia Cuomo]], was in the hospital.

Fan reception of "I'm Your Daddy" has been generally negative from the die-hard group of Weezer fans. Many of them call the song immature, and criticize both its lyrical content and its computerized dance-beat intro. The song has seen modest to low commercial success thus far. [[Pitchfork Media]], an online webzine, called the song "peppy" and "a bit on the creepy side." Allmusic's thoughts on "I'm Your Daddy" exemplify the more positive view of the song, as it called the song "sublimely power poppy." | Fan reception of "I'm Your Daddy" has been generally negative from the die-hard group of Weezer fans.
