As a matter of fact, most of the time the song he or she is writing is about their personal lives. Tim McGraw wrote My Little Girl in 2006 it was the second single of his CD. In my opinion, this song is about his daughters and him. Tim may be talking about one specific, but it could be towards all three of them. This song gives many girls hope in their fathers that they’ll always be there and help them grow being smart and intelligent. You may have to fight a battle to in the end agree on the same thing. How does a father see his daughter in his own eyes? Every father should envision

    OutKast, a popular rap group throughout the nineties and early 2000s, has a renowned song entitled “Hey Ya!” which features the smooth flows of Andre 3000 and hard hitting rhymes of Big Boi. The song has been a huge hit for years and is virtually known by every American under the age of thirty. When the song was released in 2003, I was just three years old, but had already adopted my dad’s love for music and I frequented the kitchen tile as my dance floor whenever music was playing.

In the car, Gwen sings about how she knows "exactly where I stand. The world is forcing me to hold your hand" about not being allowed to live without being dependent on a man.…

    In "Fathering in America: What's a Dad Supposed to Do?," Marie Hartwell-Walker observes that no matter the kind of family situation children are in, fathers are a critical part of their child's lives. Walker displays the majority of how men can father their children, but there is so much more to the important role of being their father in the child's lives. Many have heard that having a strong male influence is important in a young boy's life, but it's equally important for a daughter to have one as well. Throughout the essay, Walker repeatedly notes that more fathers are absent for all or significant periods of time of their child's life. This can either be because the fathers are unable to provide for them financially, are prohibited from seeing them, or because their father's relationship with their mother didn’t go well.…
