George Michael escreveu e produziu “Father Figure” e, ao retirar a caixa‑clap da mixagem, transformou o que seria um “mid‑tempo dance track” num som “dreamy” que ele considerou o mais original do álbum *Faith*.
A faixa combina balada R&B com influências de música egípcia e gospel, mudando totalmente de tom quando o snare foi removido, segundo o próprio artista.
No Reino Unido, o single chegou ao nº 11 nas paradas, marcando a primeira vez que George Michael não alcançou o top 10 em seu país natal.
Nos Estados Unidos, “Father Figure” chegou ao nº 1 da Billboard Hot 100, permanecendo duas semanas no topo entre fevereiro e março de 1988, sendo o segundo hit nº 1 do álbum *Faith* e o quarto sucesso número um de Michael.
A música foi destaque no thriller erótico “Babygirl” (2024), o que provocou seu retorno nas paradas digitais do Reino Unido, aparecendo novamente nas listas de downloads (#71) e singles (#73).
“Father Figure” foi amplamente sampleada, incluindo versões de P.M. Dawn (1993), LL Cool J (1997), Destiny’s Child (2001) e, mais recentemente, Taylor Swift em seu álbum *Life Of A Showgirl* (2025).
