Eminem has released a moving new song made for daughter Hailie Jade Scott that has moved fans to tears (photo 2021).
The song is off Eminem’s latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), released on Friday.
It includes wonderful exchanges between Eminem and his daughter when she was only a toddler.
The young father plays with his daughter, asks his little’monster’ for a kiss, and even playfully chastises her when she says a foul word.
Hailie, 28, is now married; the influencer married Evan McClintock in May.

‘A lot of people ask me, am I afraid of death?’ Eminem begins. ‘The truth is, I think what scares me the most is not being able to say all the things I wanna say to you when I’m no longer here. So this song is for Hailie, for when that day comes.’
In the lyrics, Eminem urges his daughter to ‘dry’ her tears and promises to forever watch over her.
‘Yeah, so Hailie Jade, I wrote you this song. To help you cope with life now that I’m gone. How should I start? Just wanna say.
‘Look after Eleana, Stevie and Uncle Nate/And, sweetie, be strong; I know I was your rock, and I still am/Saying goodbye is just not ever easy/Why you crying? Just stop/Hailie, 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢, dry your eyes, this is not forever.’
Eminem also says, ‘Yeah, and you will get over me and move on/You can play me on repeat on a song/But don’t you dare shed a tear, what I tell you?
‘”Straighten up, little soldier”/Them times when I held you/Jade, it’ll be OK, 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢, I’m here, hey/I’m watchin’ you right now, 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 girl; I vow/I will protect you, your guardian angel/As hard as this may be feel, as parting is painful.
‘And darling, the rain will drive you insane still/You will remain strong, Hailie, just hang on/It won’t be too long; I need you to move on/And remember, it will get better/’Cause times heal.’
Fans were beside themselves as they reacted to the emotional track on X.
‘crying to Eminem’s new album was not something I thought I’d do today but holy f**k. was vibing to the music until “temporary” came on and I just started crying holy f**k. such a beautiful song,’ one posted.
‘Listening to Eminem’s “Temporary” got me like,’ one tweeted with video of a man becoming emotional.

‘Eminem’s temporary track should have come with a warning,’ another commented.
Jade is the daughter of Eminem, real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III, and his ex-wife Kim Scott. She was reared in Detroit.
Her siblings are Alaina Marie Mathers, Stevie Laine Mathers, and Parker Scott.
She recently revealed details about her childhood in her new podcast, Just A Little Shady, which is clearly a reference to her father Eminem’s nasty and mischievous Slim Shady alter ego.
Hailie and co-host and BFF Brittany Edni discussed their’surreal’ childhood in the first episode, titled It’s A Double Entendre.
Hailie is the daughter of Eminem and his ex-wife Kim Scott; the rapper was photographed in June.
The Michigan native then shared some of her recollections from growing up on a tour bus.
They both laughed about how the lifestyle was ‘casual’ for them and part of their ‘regular chats.’
Hailie fondly recalls her upbringing, saying: ‘It’s really fun to look back… believing back as an adult, I’m like, “Wow, that’s so, so surreal,” and those recollections of me believing they were typical things now make me like, “Holy crap, that was cool.”
