Fatherhood Has Joel Madden Rethinking Lyrics

Becoming a dad earlier this year has caused Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden to rethink some of the lyrics he uses in his music. Madden welcomed daughter, Harlow, with Nicole Richie on January 11th.

He tells MTV News, "It's (fatherhood) definitely made me think differently about life and I'm sure it will affect my music. We just started writing a record and I'm sure it's gonna affect the way I write and what I write about.

"It's definitely made me think about my fans a little bit more, because they're people's kids, and so I care about what they think and I care about what I'm saying to them, because I want people to think about what they're saying to my child."
