Discover the story of the song > Daughters – John Mayer

The song is about a man (the protagonist) who loves a woman but finds it hard to understand her. He feels like he's tried his best to be with her, but sometimes it seems like their relationship is like a confusing maze. The chorus urges fathers to be good to their daughters because they will become women who love like their fathers did, and eventually become mothers themselves. The song also acknowledges that boys need warmth and love from women too, and that women are important in the lives of all children, whether they are boys or girls.
