As the name implies, "Father's Day" and most of Walker's seventh full-length album was written in tribute to his father, who passed away in 2013. The album, produced by Ryan Adams, is set for release on February 3rd.

Walker explained how Bob Mould came to work on the new song, "He walked in the studio when we were tracking it and heard the lyrics and immediately wanted to sing and play on it.

"Turns out his dad had died two years to the week we recorded it. I guess it struck him the same way it would me. He was very close with his old man. We had a moment after recording it."

Walker goes on to explain how the song was developed, "I played it for Ryan in my hotel room when we were talking about doing my record. Immediately he started picking it apart and writing alternate verse lyrics here and there. I ended up combining our words to make the final verses and it just felt right. It's one of my proudest moments and I know my Pop would've loved it."
