Hear Kane Brown’s Precious New Song, ‘For My Daughter’
The new dad makes a promise Kingsley Rose can keep with her forever.
Kane Brown and his wife Katelyn welcomed the birth of their first child on Tuesday (October 29), a precious little girl named Kingsley Rose. And soon after, the new dad made her a musical promise she can keep forever.
Vowing to be the dad he never had, Brown released the lump-in-your-throat ballad “For My Daughter” on Halloween night. He co-wrote the quiet, pure-country contemplation with Tom Douglas and Chase McGill after finding out Katelyn was pregnant, and it’s easy to see the song comes straight from the heart. Filled with love, gentle strength and purpose, the fiddle-based track captures an uplifting swirl of joy and responsibility that comes with becoming a father for the first time.
“They say dads are supposed to shape you and in a way I guess mine did / I knew what I wouldn’t do if I ever had a kid / They say history repeats itself well I guess that’s up to me / I grew up without a dad I’m gonna be the best one I can be,” goes the chill-bump inducing chorus.
“I wrote this song when I found out we were officially going to become parents,” Brown says. “I meant every word, and cannot wait to watch her grow up.”
According to Katelyn, Brown was born for the job.
