Luke Bryan’s Emotional Music Video For “Build Me A Daddy” Will Break Your Heart
On June 12, 2020, Luke Bryan released one of his most emotional songs, “Build Me a Daddy.” Luke began teasing the song on social media in the leadup to its release.
“There are people out there who are going to really, really relate to this song and it’s going to affect them in a beautiful way,” Luke wrote in one Instagram post before the song came out.
After “Build Me a Daddy” and its official music video debuted, fans understood why Luke framed the song the way he did.

“Build Me a Daddy” was written by Jake Mitchell, Josh Thompson, and Brett Tyler. In the song, a boy walks past a toy store and goes inside to speak to the toymaker. He gives the toymaker a picture of himself standing next to a soldier, presumed to be his father, and says, “Sir, I’ve heard you can build anything…Could you build me a daddy?”
As the boy continues, we come to the conclusion that his father has passed away. “I sure miss him. Maybe you could bring him back?” he sings in the mournful song.
The boy also tells the toymaker about everything his dad promised to teach him, like how to throw a curveball.
“I’ve played this song for a lot of my hardcore buddies and it chokes them up,” Luke said about the song on Twitter. “I think that’s the beauty of country music, to really make you feel emotional.”
