Father's Day is titled after a contemporaneous documentary following Kirk Franklin as he learns about the identity of his biological father, meets with him, and reconnects with both his estranged mother and oldest son. The album concludes with a solemn piano ballad where Franklin proclaims, with his vulnerable singing voice, "I'd give up every trophy that I've won/Just to be somebody's son." For the most part, however, Father's Day is not atypical for Franklin, who otherwise packs his 13th album with the highly energized testimonials, resolutions, and statements of gratitude for which he is known. "Somebody's Son" is immediately preceded by "Again" and "Again & Again," a sequence of reassuring songs elevated by a group of seven guest singers that includes Jekalyn Carr, Chandler Moore, Jonathan McReynolds, and Tori Kelly. The album's first half peaks with the choir-powered "All Things."
