The Neighbourhood - Daddy Issues (Official Video) 

director: how much color do u want the neighborhood: no

him sitting in the car she's smashing shows that she's mad at him like most girls with daddy issues are towards men, but he's trapped, too. he has the same issues, same pain.

"go ahead and cry, little girl" always gets me..

"go ahead and cry little boy, you now that your daddy did too", shit hit home

"go ahead and cry little girl", and "and if you were my little girl" these lines always gets to me. damn!

Daddy issues is a psychological term to describe girls and women who felt a vacuum of some sorts through their father. It's not sexual per say, though there are documented cases of such being as so. Incest. However more often that not it's some form of absence or disconnection with a father. And yes, even death. And if that vacuum is still felt when she is older and has a boyfriend or husband, daddy issues may manifest themselves into sexual difficulties for the woman and her partner. A real man does not want to be your daddy. He wants to be your partner or your husband. If you treat him any differently, you're sabotaging yourself and your potential children. The lyrics to the song play up to the girls issues. As the narrator describes himself as wanting to be her daddy. It's a form of manipulation on the part of the man. A play on her weakness. Yet in the same breath, the girl/woman allows this to proceed, because of prior issues with her father. Filling an emotional void. Usually the woman grows up and overcomes these things. And that daddy figure ends up screwing himself. A smart man knows better and won't play a daddy role unless it's with his own children. Here is the definition of what daddy issues is: Daddy issues is an informal phrase for the psychological challenges resulting from an absent or abnormal relationship with one's father, often manifesting in a distrust of, or sexual desire for, men who act as father figures.

happy father’s day i guess?

i’ll never be able to understand how it feels to have daddy issues, but i’m sending my love and support to you all from someone with mommy issues

*_"i didn't cry when you left at first, but now that you're dead it hurts"_*

Sending virtual hugs to everyone that has issues with parents, and just issues in general

lyrics: take you like a drug I taste you on my tongue You ask me what I'm thinking about I tell you that I'm thinking about Whatever you're thinking about Tell me something that I'll forget And you might have to tell me again It's crazy what you'll do for a friend Go ahead and cry, little girl Nobody does it like you do I know how much it matters to you I know that you got daddy issues And if you were my little girl I'd do whatever I could do I'd run away and hide with you I know that you got daddy issues, and I do too I tried to write your name in the rain But the rain never came So I made with the sun The shade Always comes at the worst time You ask me what I'm thinking about I tell you that I'm thinking about Whatever you're thinking about Tell me something that I'll forget And you might have to tell me again It's crazy what you'll do for a friend Go ahead and cry, little girl Nobody does it like you do I know how much it matters to you I know that you got daddy issues And if you were my little girl I'd do whatever I could do I'd run away and hide with you I know that you got daddy issues I keep on trying to let you go I'm dying to let you know How I'm getting on I didn't cry when you left at first But now that you're dead it hurts This time I gotta know Where did my daddy go? I'm not entirely here Half of me has disappeared Go ahead and cry, little boy You know that your daddy did too You know what your mama went through You gotta let it out soon, just let it out Go ahead and cry, little girl Nobody does it like you d.. (you'r welcome❤)

"Its crazy what you do for a friend" so real

“Go ahead and cry little girl” that line gets me everytime...

3:18 "go ahead and cry little boy" it breaks my heart that he starts talking to himself... :(

Anyone watching in summertime 2024?

"go ahead and cry, little girl"😭😭

To anyone struggling: You’re stronger than any test, paper due, breakup, money issue, or any battle you’re facing. Keep your head up.

This is for the girls whose fathers broke their hearts before any boy could.

8 years later and this song is still a bop and it’s home SO HARD ☹️

It hits diffrent when you actually relate...

“All children deserve parents, but not all parents deserve children”

THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS THE MOST AESTHETICALLY PLEASING BAND ❤️

if you reading this you have a great taste in music

8 years later and still amazing

I see these girls with perfect dads and loved by them. Wish I had that childhood.

this band is the definition of aesthetic.

My dad was never abusive Always loved me and supported me And this song still a banger Respect to people with abusive/absent fathers 😔✊

its been 7 years and this is still my favorite song. i dont have daddy issues, but im so sorry for those who have daddy issues. i only wish the best for you. you deserve to be loved.

I swear they're no comments saying this song is sexual but there's a hundred comments telling no one to stop saying the song is sexual.

I don't have any daddy issues or something. Just reading yall comments. Kinda make me sad ngl yall don't/didn't deserve that.

the "go ahead and cry little boy" was really good, thank you for including us as well

No matter how many times I revisit this song it never fails to make me cry, both sad that I have such a dysfunctional family, and happy that I'm doing better than most people in my family, despite my mental traumas.

“ is crazy what you do for a friend” this is so intense

The song makes me cry. The video makes me feel better.

Here on father's day 2024💔

"Go ahead and cry, little girl" I feel so insulted and comforted

The song is not sexual. It’s about loving someone, and accepting their trauma because you can relate to it, acknowledging their pain, while dealing with your own.

"Its crazy what youll do for an friend" True words said from an wise man-

Anyone watching in 2024?😢

song hits different when you actually have daddy issues

I actually have daddy issues he never beat me or anything but his words are more hurtful than that

this song is my roman empire.

Daddy stuck around but he wasn’t present : my life in 7 words

A hug goes out to all the girls who's dads broke their heart before any boy could

I remember Wearing my headphones, listening to this on full volume, running to my father’s grave I miss you dad. I miss you so bad.

One of my most favorite songs by them!!

The song that cannot be replaced by any other song. I even hear it twenty times a day, on the road, at school, and when I sleep.

I want to listen to this song at 1am on the beach anyone wanna join

This song has such a deep meaning and tiktokers are over here making thirst traps to this song. That's embarrassing

Anyone listening to this masterpiece on 2024 !?!

It's just a song, but it hurts so much to listen to it.Especially the line "Go ahead and cry, little girl Nobody does it like you do I know how much it matters to you".

I don't have any parental issues but, reading some of your stories genuinely had me sobbing for half an hour. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Some adults should have never been parents. The ones who were supposed to protect and love you became the demons in your head. Please remember that while you can't choose your parents, you can choose who you love in the future and I really hope that you'll find someone who will love you more than you can ever imagine.

HOW DID I *NOT* KNOW THEY HAD A MUSIC VIDEO FOR THIS SONG???? i've heard it a thousand times but never seen this

It hits hard when you have both Mummy and Daddy issues 🥺🥺 ("Go ahead and cry little boy" Got me😢)

This song still a safe place for me after years.

as a person who has Daddy issues; this song is so special for me. someone who is saying me everything I ever want to hear "Go ahead and cry little girl, nobody does it like you do, i know how much it matters to you"

y’all were listening to this song in a sexual way???? i’m the only one listening to cry?

My ears are tranced by this tune, so is she in love with him or miss her dad?

"and if you were my little girl..."

Daddy issues is just sweater weathers depressed cousin.

This song hits differently when you can actually relate to it. Sending love and healing to everyone who has had an abusive/absent father xx

I know it's not a love song but why does it sound like a love song? The melody brings so many memories that are supposed to be forgotten but we remember , AGAIN

The perfect song for "coffin of andy and leyley"

The most underrated song and band. I'm happy they're still our little secret, but it pains me that the amazing work behind The Neighbourhood's music is not more recognized. Gives the true meaning to "hidden gem".

I don’t have daddy issues but just reading the comments makes me feel so bad for all of you :(

I used to listen to that song thinking my dad was the reason of everything, now after 20 years I realized my mom was the reason for everything bad happened to me and man now i need a song for mommy issues

"لا شيء أسوأ من أن يُعاد شعور قديم، جاهدتُ طويلاً لتجاوزه."

When I was younger my father was EXTREMELY abusive to my mother, physical and mentally but he was sweet to me and my brother and loved us. But one day when I was around 5 years old and he malested me. I remember everything. That day changed everything, he wasn't ever present and didn't try to fight for us. 2 years ago he killed himself and I know this sounds bad but I'm a little relieved. I can finally feel safe away from him.

I think that the girl lost her dad and Jesse is letting her take all the pain and anger out on him but he also has daddy issues but he puts that aside and focuses on her. "It's crazy what you'd do for a friend" is like how crazy Jesse is being for letting that girl destroy his car but he remains calm.

As a girl that spent her life with no father present, that was always at work in another country and only came like 3 days per year home, a girl who's dad cheated on her mother but her mother didnt react and acted like nothing, ... this hits hard. Me and my brother watched my mom suffer and cry everyday. Luckily, he is young and doesnt understand. But this song hits so deep for me. I cry everytime i hear it.

Seven whole years later and This song still slaps. Crazy.

“You know what your daddy did to” and “you know what your momma went through” Get me crying every time it’s just so deep.

"every time you tell your daughter you yell at her out of love you teach her to confuse anger with kindness which seems like a good idea till she grows up to trust men who hurt her cause they look so much like you" to fathers with daughters - rupi kaur

The neighbourhood es una banda que merece más reconocimiento :( cómo los amo ❤❤❤

This song hits me alot. The part "He stook around but he wasnt present" meant alot to me my dad is never home i have never spoke with him i dont know what his favorite color is. I only see him when he drops me off or take me from school. Its like his a stranger. An absent parent, i wouldve loved to know him more..

i don’t have daddy issues but this song is really calming for me edit: ok maybe i do? recently discovered my dad might be a bit abusive

stop saying this song is sexual I'm tryna read everyone's daddy issues and see if they're as bad as mine

This song makes me wanna do unorthodox things

This song hits me in the spot because i can relate..

I like the background sounds of the car being smashed in this video.

2020... still alive? - 🦋

Best song of Neighborhood in my opinion 🫶

my dad is still here and hes not physically abusive but hes mentally abusive even if he denies it he is and i try to love him but damn it hurts and he tries to get along with me but it never works and i try to laugh and smile with him even when he hurts me mentally i still try to be a good daughter to him so this song is comfort for me even if i dont know if i have daddy issues

Makes me wanna go destroy a car, but I’m too lazy and too scared to get arrested so I guess that ain’t happening

i miss this era of the band tbh :( happy they’re successful now tho

"I didn't cry when you left at first but now that you're dead it hurts"

0:55 me when someone bothers me

This is basically sweater weather but on drugs and depression.

The worst part about daddy issues is when you have that mom who just sits back and* is like "well...what do you want me to do ?🙂"

Idk if mine counts as daddy issues but this song helps.

I feel like I was supposed to relate to this song, but when my dad left I wasn't my moms "sun", I was just a failure that she wants gone.

Listening to this on fathers day seeing all my friends posting their dads while i just watch their stories

I love that this song actually talks about the fact that anyone can have mommy or daddy issues because it's not limited to a need for sexual attention from the other gender, sometimes it's about having a parental figure, or a missing part of your person because you know that person didn't want you, it can be about lots of things

In my classroom my classmates always say how much they love their dad and their dad always sport them when they always start to talk about it I just go silent and look at them in pain.

Hits harder than my father words

All the lovelies, who have been hurt by their mommy or daddy, always know you deserve all the love in this world. Never settle for someone like your mommy/daddy. Never involve yourself in an abusive relationship. They'll tell you it's love, they'll fool you because you are never ever loved properly to know the difference between love and abuse but as soon you know that, RUN AWAY, as fast as you can.

is the neighbourhood in that list of artists who write songs for people who think that could murder someone but actually they're afraid to even ask for more ketchup in burger king? I think yes

my dad was the first to break my heart before any boy.

это песня терапия для большей части России. иногда проблемы в семье скапливаются и для того, что бы просто дать слезам волю нужно включить эту песню и погрузится. большое спасибо за этот шедевр

I feel like they would play this song in a club while everyone thinks it’s a sexual song but I’m on the floor crying my eyes out because i actually have daddy issues and I understand the meaning of the song
