Healy's use of "daddy" in "Love It If We Made It" stemmed from his fascination with internet meme culture, noting the term has evolved to denote a sexual connotation in the online world. His inspiration to include the "Poison me daddy" line came from the 2018 Salisbury poisoning, saying he was reading about the incident while simultaneously receiving comments from fans calling him "daddy". Elaborating further, the singer said: "[If] you told somebody 15 years ago, 'You're gonna have this computer where people are gonna be calling you daddy, and you're gonna be able to read BBC news at the same time,' it's [a] weird little reality." While recognizing his lack of knowledge regarding the history of anti-black racism in America, the singer wanted to draw attention to a paradox he observed. Healy viewed American culture as fetishizing black people while simultaneously thriving on a prison system that preys on young black men. He portrays this through a neutral observation in "Love It If We Made It", saying he "[does not] have any solutions, but [he is] an artist, it's not [his] job". Similarly, the song addresses the US national anthem protests. Healy was confused by the controversy, noting that American conservative media portrayed the issue as anti-American and anti-democratic, despite traditional American traditions of peaceful protest and standing up for one's beliefs.
