"Daddy" is a song by British singer Emeli Sandé, featuring British record producer Naughty Boy.

Music video
A music video to accompany the release of "Daddy" was first released onto YouTube on 21 October 2011 at a total length of three minutes and twenty seconds. The video features Sandé singing, whilst burglars, in which one of them is the person Sandé is singing about, raid a supermarket, and one of them takes the money from the cash machine. In the end, Sandé is in the supermarket, whilst a burglar approaches her. He then takes off his mask. In the end, the burglar finds a folded piece of paper in his fridge.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAnIfqF-Mu8|title=Emeli Sande – Daddy ft. Naughty Boy|via=YouTube}}
Critical reception
Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a very positive review, stating: "My friends keep telling you what he did last night, how many girls he kissed, how many he liked," she insists over haunting church bell chimes as she gives her bezzie a reality check on love; before a mish-mash of thrashing acoustics pound out with more drama than the EastEnders cliffhanger outro. By the time the catchy-as-cholera chorus kicks in, it's obvious that 2012 is Sande's for the taking. At least Cowell's got one thing right this year, eh? {{rating|5|5}}{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/singlesreviews/a350987/emeli-sande-daddy-single-review.html|work=Digital Spy|publisher=digitalspy.co.uk|author=Lewis Corner|title=Emeli Sande: 'Daddy' – Single review}}
