Eminem's new song "Somebody Save Me" featuring Jelly Roll depicts an alternate reality where he never got sober and missed family milestones, including apologies to his children.
The artist's 28-year-old daughter Hailie Jade Scott shared in a podcast interview that she finds some of his songs, including "Somebody Save Me," "Mockingbird," and "Temporary," difficult to listen to as they evoke memories of her upbringing with a struggling addict father.
She noted she is grateful that her parents shielded her from the severity of his addiction.
Eminem admitted in 2021 that his intense addiction struggles led him to relearn how to rap, resulting in inappropriate lyrics about Rihanna, which he later regretted and acknowledged as wrong and stupid.
Eminem publicly celebrated 16 years of sobriety and credits his children, including Hailie, with helping him get sober after a near-fatal overdose of sleeping pills in 2007.
Hailie Jade graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in psychology and got married earlier this year.
