Written on an acoustic guitar, Corgan left the meaning of the song vague, but later realized it has a lot to do with his relationship with his father. Corgan consciously set the song in 1975, the year he started listening heavily to rock music, considering Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, UFO, and Rainbow influences on the sound.
Producer Kerry Brown wrote: "Billy broke out the Farfisa today and we ran it through a 'secret weapon'. It won't be such a secret on Tuesday when I showcase it and its history in the Tech Tuesday blog … but for those of you curious as to what it could be… *Hint* (Pink Floyd) used one of these devices on some of their recordings." The "secret weapon" was a Binson Echorec analog echo machine.
The song is featured on season 1, episode 7 of The Chicago Code. The scene involves a child being laid to rest.
"A Song for a Son" saw critical acclaim. Rolling Stone wrote "Nothing in Corgan’s prolific recording history could have prepared us for the over five minutes of classic rock that is “A Song for a Son,” which starts off with a “Stairway to Heaven”-esque riff before exploding into the rest of ZoSo’s touchstones... If “A Song for a Son” is any indication of what we can expect from 'Billy', each EP will likely be the length of Exile on Main Street". Pitchfork described the song as "an epic", saying that "There's a contemplative intro, a shredding solo, and plenty of classic rock panache in between". About.com wrote "it's a moody, vaguely psychedelic number that's a promising start to this ambitious, unconventional, and awesome album."
