“Daddy” is the final song on Korn’s groundbreaking self-titled debut album. Though vocalist Jonathan Davis shouts to the rapist that they are doing this to “their own child”, he was not molested by a parent. It was actually a babysitter:
It’s not about my parents molesting me or any of that shit. It was about me being abused by someone else and my parents not really believing me, which I believe happens to tons of kids. I believe tons of kids go back and say, ‘Hey mom, dad, this shit happened’ and they’re like, ‘Stop fucking lying’. Or they don’t understand. And they were real young at the time and I don’t blame them. It was my babysitter, and she has since passed away. Karma’s a bitch.
In 2014, band members and album producer Ross Robinson told Rolling Stone that the sobbing at the end of the song is real. Robinson kept recording Davis' breakdown and directed the band to resume playing as it continued.
