Eminem - Mockingbird (Official Music Video) [04:17 | Rap, In English, USA, Conscious Hip-Hop, Lullaby, Hip-Hop, Detroit Rap, Midwest Rap] https://youtu.be/S9bCLPwzSC0

Possibly the least offensive Eminem song ever, this Encore track is directed and dedicated to his daughters. Eminem acknowledges that growing up with his media image and Kim’s drug problem made for a difficult upbringing, not to mention their poverty-stricken beginnings. The lyrics are a personal, undisguised account of his early relationship with his wife and daughters. Critics praised the song for its lyrics. This song mixes an original rap dialogue about Eminem’s failed marriage, as he apologizes to his daughters with a straight melodic version of the traditional “Mockingbird” lullaby called “Hush, Little Baby”. The second verse is about the difficulties including Kim and Eminem’s divorce and the beginning of Eminem’s fame.^[1]

"Temporary” is the 15th track on Eminem’s album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), dedicated to his only biological daughter, Hailie.

In this heartfelt song featuring his long-time collaborator Skylar Grey, Eminem reflects on his fears of not being able to communicate his feelings to Hailie once he’s gone. Emphasizing the importance of family and staying strong through tough times, he assures Hailie that while pain and heartbreak are inevitable, they are “temporary.” The track includes personal anecdotes and recordings of conversations between him and the young Hailie, which add to the song’s authenticity and intimacy.

In an episode of her podcast, Hailie mentioned that this song particularly made her “audibly sob.” The song’s cover, teased as a single on Instagram, features a young Hailie on the background stage of the iconic The Eminem Show cover, with a note written on the side reading, “To my daddy, Love ya, from Hailie.”

A visual for the song was released on October 3rd, in which Hailie surprises Em with the news that he is going to be a grandfather.^[2]
