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.

While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in June 1990 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 recording took place in late 1990 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. 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).

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.
