Daddy Pop is the second track on the album Diamonds And Pearls, the first album credited to Prince and the New Power Generation. In 1992, it was included on some versions of the Sexy M.F. single.

Basic tracking took place on 2 July 1990 at Olympic Studios in London, England (during the same set of sessions that produced Schoolyard, Walk Don’t Walk and Oobey Doop, but mostly focused on Rosie Gaines’ first solo album, recording My Tender Heart, Hold Me, Pain, Streetwalker, In The Name Of Love and Turn Your Lights Down Low). Additional recordings took place after the Nude Tour at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, Minnesota on 18 September 1990.

The song is essentially a solo performance by Prince, but was edited together with the ending of a rehearsal performance of Partyman to create the ending. It also includes a sampled drum loop from Aretha Franklin’s track Rock Steady from her 1972 album Young, Gifted And Black (played by Bernard Purdie).

With Rosie Gaines, Elisa Fiorillo added her background vocals to the song, having been invited by Prince to take in the Nude Tour show in Cork Ireland, on 7 July 1990. She flew to London with the band after the show, and then joined them in the studio the next day.

The track was included as the first track on the December 1990, configuration of Diamonds And Pearls, but was moved to become the second track on the 1 March 1991 and 8 May 1991 configurations, where it remained for release.

  • Elisa Fiorillo’s lines in the studio version of the song ("Oh daddy" / "Oh, sock it to me" / "You’re The Best") actually borrowed from the 1977 movie Which Way Is Up?. Gloria Edwards’ voice lifted from the original film was used for the live performances. Another dialogue from that same scene is also sampled on Return Of The Bump Squad.
