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.[1]

Synposis

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 mashine. 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.

Critical Reception

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a 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? [2]
