"Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" received mixed reviews from music critics, who praised Lohan's conviction on the song, but considering it a cliché "I-hate-you-Daddy" lament. The song achieved mild commercial success, peaking at number seven in Australia, number 74 in Austria, number 14 on the United States Hot Digital Songs and at number 57 on Billboard Hot 100. An accompanying music video, directed by Lohan herself, portrays Lindsay and her actual sister Ali, listening to her parents arguing and fighting in the living room of their home. "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" was performed by Lohan at the American Music Awards of 2005.

"Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" was written by Lohan as a letter to her father, Michael, who was incarcerated in June 2005 after surviving a car crash for which he was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. Additional writing and song production was done by Greg Wells and Kara DioGuardi, who revealed, "If you solo the vocals you'll hear race cars, because we brought the studio to [Lindsay's] trailer on Herbie: Fully Loaded. I'm not kidding! She had no time to do the record, so she would be on her lunch break, and I'd be like, 'Throw that thing down your throat and get over here, 'cause we got to finish these vocals!' So I sat for 14 hours on the set and would grab her for, like, 10 minutes at a time. The poor girl. That's the reality of young Hollywood. When they're hot, they're worked to death. It was 18/20-hour days. ... And I swear: 'Vroom! Vroom!' You can hear it in the back." "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" was first previewed at AOL Music's First Listen on September 30, 2005, and was sent to mainstream radio in the United States on October 18, 2005, as the lead single from A Little More Personal (Raw). The song was released digitally in the United States on November 8, 2005, while being released internationally on January 15, 2006 by Casablanca Records.
