Look 'Em In The Eye

Daughter → Dad

Father's Day · Rnb

Dad, the morning of my first big interview I was a total wreck — and you walked me out, filled up my gas tank so I'd have one less thing to think about, and said, "Look 'em in the eye and don't sell yourself short." I got the job. And here's the thing: I still hear that line before every hard conversation, every room I want to shrink in. You handed me a backbone and didn't even make a thing of it. That one sentence has carried me further than you'll ever know. Thank you for always being in my corner, Dad. I love you.

Song story

Background

Chloe is 24 and just landed her first real job. The morning of the interview she was a nervous wreck, and her dad Mark walked her out to the car, filled up her gas tank so she'd have one less thing to worry about, and told her, "Look 'em in the eye and don't sell yourself short." She got the job — and she still hears that line before anything scary. For Father's Day she made a warm, groovy R&B song for the dad who's always in her corner.
