The song ‘Temporary’ has already received praise from fans who love the sweet details, such as the inclusion of his daughter’s voice.

It is believed that the song is a love letter from the 51-year-old to his former little daughter, written as if he had died.

While the introduction features lines spoken and sung by Hailie herself, the rapper can later be heard telling listeners: “Yeah, so Hailie Jade, I wrote you this song / To help you cope with life now that I’m gone / How should I start? I just want to say /

Take care of Eleana, Stevie and Uncle Nate.”

But now the real reason for the track has aroused emotions.

According to the lyrics website Genius.com, the message behind the song is emotional in nature, stating: “A song for Hailie (Eminem’s only biological daughter) to listen to when Eminem passes away.”

“In this soulful song, Eminem reflects on his fears of not being able to communicate his feelings to Hailie when he’s gone. He remembers their close relationship, his struggles, and the guidance he wants to leave her.

“Eminem emphasizes the importance of staying strong during difficult times and assures Hailie that heartbreak is only temporary.”

He continued: “The song contains personal and candid moments, such as a recording of Hailie from her childhood, which gives it a level of authenticity and intimacy.

“Throughout the song, Eminem expresses his deep love and concern for his daughter while also featuring his typical raw and unfiltered lyrical style.”

The newly released track moved listeners to tears, with one writing on social media: “I wasn’t expecting another Hailie song but ‘Temporary’ is amazing. @Eminem absolutely amazing song.”
