John Mayer<\/strong>‘s 2004 single “Daughters<\/strong><\/a>” was a big hit and won the Song of the Year Grammy in 2005. But according to another Grammy-winning artist, that song is a blunder-land.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Kerrang!<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, the artist\u00a0St. Vincent<\/strong>, born\u00a0Annie Clark<\/strong>, was asked to name the “worst song ever written,” and she chose “Daughters.”<\/p>\n

“It’s just so hideously sexist but it pretends to be a love song, but it’s really,\u00a0really\u00a0<\/em>retrograde and really sexist,” Clark says. “And I hate it.”<\/p>\n

“It’s so deeply misogynistic,” she adds. “Which would be fine if you owned that, but it pretends like it’s sweet.”<\/p>\n

While Clark is mostly known as an alternative artist, she does know a thing or two about what makes a successful pop song: She co-wrote Taylor Swift<\/strong>‘s “Cruel Summer” and\u00a0Olivia Rodrigo<\/strong>‘s\u00a0“Obsessed.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Daughters” warns fathers that if they don’t treat their daughters right, they’ll grow up with “daddy issues” and be unable to have successful relationships. Among the lyrics: “On behalf of every man\/ looking out for every girl\/ you are the God and the weight of her world\/ so fathers, be good to your daughters.”<\/p>\n
