Background and release

"Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" was written by Lohan as a letter to her father, Michael, who was incarcerated in June 2005 after surviving a car crash for which he was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. Additional writing and song production was done by Greg Wells and Kara DioGuardi, who revealed, "If you solo the vocals you'll hear race cars, because we brought the studio to [Lindsay's] trailer on Herbie: Fully Loaded. I'm not kidding! She had no time to do the record, so she would be on her lunch break, and I'd be like, 'Throw that thing down your throat and get over here, 'cause we got to finish these vocals!' So I sat for 14 hours on the set and would grab her for, like, 10 minutes at a time. The poor girl. That's the reality of young Hollywood. When they're hot, they're worked to death. It was 18/20-hour days. ... And I swear: 'Vroom! Vroom!' You can hear it in the back." "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" was first previewed at AOL Music's First Listen on September 30, 2005, and was sent to mainstream radio in the United States on October 18, 2005, as the lead single from A Little More Personal (Raw). The song was released digitally in the United States on November 8, 2005, while being released internationally on January 15, 2006 by Casablanca Records.

I hope he sees the positive side of the video rather than the negative. The video is kind of offensive, but it is very raw. He's my father. I need someone to walk me down the aisle when I get married." The single's b-side, "My Innocence", features a similar message to Lohan's father.

Critical reception

"Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" received mixed reviews from music critics. Brian Hiatt of Rolling Stone noted "the album de-emphasizes the (very) guilty pop pleasures of her 2004 debut in favor of leaden I-hate-you-Daddy laments such as "Confessions of a Broken Heart" and "My Innocence". Entertainment Weekly writer Leah Greenblatt commented that "it's hard to imagine a more explicit snapshot of the highly publicized family problems that have plagued the star than "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)"". PopMatters's Whitney Strub said "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" "immediately commences with a line about 'wait[ing] for the postman to bring me a letter', which suggests songwriters dipping into the well of cliché without worrying about freshness," while commenting that "the world might not need another version of Britney Spears' 'E-Mail My Heart', but good lord, that song came out in 1999. Perhaps a text-message might arrive faster than snail-mail in late 2005, should Lohan's song-persona deign to enter the 21st century".

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" was directed by Lohan in Chelsea, Manhattan, New York City, and references her father Michael's alcoholism and alleged domestic abuse. Tommy Mottola, head of Casablanca, revealed that no one could direct the video better than Lindsay herself, who said to Lohan, "'No one knows this song better than you, no one knows this situation better than you.' It's a lot to take on, but I told her she's ready, and we'll give her all the support she needs". Lohan said that the video's storefront setting was chosen because, in her words, "my life is on display". Lohan also wanted to break a mirror during the bathroom scenes, because she wanted to show her real feelings in the video. Assistant director Jeb Bryan said to Lohan, "This is real glass, Lindsay. We weren't prepared for you to break these things. [...] Do you want this slow motion?" She responded, "Regular frame will make it more violent. [...] I don't want it to be too pretty". The music video was first aired on MTV's Making the Video, and later released to iTunes Store on October 25, 2005.

In the video, Lohan hides in the bathroom and prays a rosary as her parents, Michael and Dina (played by Drake Andrew and Victoria Hay, respectively), argue and fight in the living room. Her sister, Ali (who plays herself, according to Lohan), goes to her bedroom after coming home from ballet class, breaks into tears, saying a rosary. The three rooms are shown behind a department store window, outside which a crowd of observers form. At the end of the video, Lohan stands behind the glass and photographs of memories fly up onto it, from which she breaks out. As a response to the video, Lindsay's father wrote a letter to the New York Daily News, saying, "while I always considered and expressed how truly blessed Lindsay, as well as my other children are, I never realized how blessed I am to have a daughter as amazing as Lindsay. Hold onto my shirt honey, soon enough you'll be able to hold on to me!"

Critical reception

The music video received widespread critical acclaim, with some calling it one of the greatest heartbreaking music videos of all time. When reviewing the video, VH1 stated that ""Daddy issues" is an understatement when it comes to this melodramatic--and we admit, effective--clip."
