New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Nearly a quarter of the children growing up today in the UK are cared for within single-parent family units. Many of those families completely split from one of those parents will today find Zoe Wees' brand new single "Daddy's Eyes" a rare moment when a song was written to describe such challenging emotions in such a crucial time in their upbringing. The song is available to stream immediately via Capitol Records/Universal Music, and fans will be able to hear Zoe perform it live in London's Lafayette on November 21st.
Speaking about the song's meaning, Zoe explained "My father was never there for my Mum and me. I've met him once in my life and I realised that my eyes look exactly like his. I don't wanna cry these tears with my Daddy's Eyes. I don't need you, Dad!"
