“Mockingbird” is a song by American rapper Eminem from his fifth studio album Encore (2004). It is a heartfelt apology and a promise from Eminem to his daughters, Hailie and Alaina, addressing the struggles and joys of life and celebrating the power of love. The song details everything Eminem tried to provide for his daughters before coming up against challenges, and it laments the fact that things didn’t turn out as planned. The lyrics are a personal, undisguised account of his early relationship with his wife and daughters, and the song received a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Solo Performance.
