Hailie Jade says she can’t watch the music video for Eminem’s song, “Somebody Save Me,” without getting emotional. She discussed the track, which the legendary dedicated to her and her siblings, during an episode of her Just a Little Shady podcast. The music video features footage of her as a child while Eminem reflects on how his struggle with drugs and alcohol affected his parenting choices. “Another pill as I start to spiral / Message to my daughters / I don’t even deserve the father title/ Hailie, I’m so sorry / I know I wasn’t there for your first guitar recital,” he raps.

“Speaking of things I watched this past week, which I guess I’ll say watched, but I refused to watch again — the ‘Somebody Save Me’ music video is out and I did watch the thing,” Hailie said. “I watched it in its entirety. I don’t think I can do it again. I definitely cry every time I hear it at all. Between that and ‘Temporary’ … I mean, I can’t. I audibly sobbed I think for both songs, but especially ‘Temporary.’”

She continued: “Watching the [‘Somebody Save Me’] video back and listening to the songs, I feel like my parents did such a good job growing up where I didn’t realize how bad things were. But now, as an adult in hindsight, it’s so scary to think about. I think that’s why I get emotional so much just thinking that that could have happened. And obviously that’s the point of the song. But I will say, if you’ve ever lost an addict or loved one, I feel for you.”

Eminem’s Daughter Hailie Confessed That She ‘Audibly Sobbed’ To Two Of Her Dad’s ‘The Death Of Slim Shady’ Tracks

Eminem is tough as nail when it comes to any rap foe that takes aim at him. However, when it comes to the “Tobey” rapper’s relationship with his daughter Hailie Jade, he is a big ole softy.

On Eminem’s latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), he displayed his vulnerable side as a father on tracks like “Somebody Save Me” featuring Jelly Roll and “Temporary.” Yesterday (August 23), Hailie Jade confessed that each track brought her to tears.

On the latest episode of her podcast, Just A Little Shady, Hailie shared her emotional response after she listened to the records.

Although she admitted that she could only watch the official music video for “Somebody Save Me,” which features home footage, due to the overwhelming feeling it brought forth, the songs are another story.

“I definitely cry every time I hear it at all,” she said. “Between [Somebody Save Me] and ‘Temporary,’… I audibly sobbed I think for both songs but especially ‘Temporary.’”

While Eminem is proudly sober now, things weren’t always that way. One “Somebody Save Me,” Eminem things back on those times. However, Hailie Jade praised her parents for protecting her from truly seeing how difficult their battle with addiction was.

“I feel like my parents did such a good job growing up where I didn’t realize how bad things were,” she said. “But, now as like, an adult in hindsight, it’s so scary to think about. And I think that’s why I get emotional so much, like just thinking that could have happened.”

Eminem & Jelly Roll Drop Tear-Jerking Music Video For “Somebody Save Me”

Eminem is now just over a month removed from his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady. Overall, the record has received lukewarm reviews from critics, although his Stans seem to be enjoying it. Since its July 12 release and debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 200, it has slowly tapered off. It’s now sitting at number 16, and only one track is on the Hot 100. That is the lead single “Houdini”, and it is also beginning to fall down the ranks with it being at 24 as opposed to 20 last week. Regardless, though, Eminem achieving quite a bit of success at this stage of his career is highly impressive. Furthermore, there are still some other tracks to pull from it, including “Somebody Save Me”, the collaborative closer between Eminem and Jelly Roll.

The emotional weight is what makes this song so special, as both respective megastars divulge into the previous battles with addiction. In the case of Eminem, he raps about an alternate reality where he wasn’t able to be there for his kids’ biggest accomplishments. In a cool but gut-wrenching way, Eminem pieces various clips from his and children’s lives together in the new visuals for “Somebody Save Me”. Perhaps the saddest part of the video is at the beginning where a younger Marshall Mathers is on the couch in a slumber (due to his drug intake) and one his daughters imploring him to get up and eat. Instead, she sends her away and tells her to “shut the door”. Thankfully, Eminem was able to fight off his demons and his vices, and it goes to show how he strong he is and how much he cares about his family.
