This nostalgic song finds Alan Jackson reflecting on his oldest daughter Mattie's childhood milestones. From her first steps to her first car, he assures her she'll "always be my baby."
Jackson wrote the upbeat song for the father/daughter dance when Mattie married assistant district attorney Ben Selecman in the summer of 2017. He told his other two daughters, Ali and Dani, rather than writing a new tune for each of them, they can both use "You'll Always Be My Baby" for their father/daughter dance too.
Alan Jackson recorded the song for his 2021 album Where Have You Gone intending to have listeners play it at weddings. It is one of two songs on the record he wrote for his daughters' marriages. The other is a track called "I Do" that he penned for Ali's 2020 nuptials, which according to the singer "just came out one day."
