Description
Marshall Bruce Mathers III born October 17, 1972, known by his primary stage name Eminem, or by his alter ego Slim Shady, is an American rapper, record producer and actor who has sold over 75 million albums worldwide. Eminem quickly gained popularity in 1999 with his major-label debut album The Slim Shady LP, which won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. The following album, The Marshall Mathers LP, became the fastest-selling hip hop album in history.
"Beautiful" is the seventeenth track on and the fourth single from American rapper Eminem's album Relapse. Entered the UK Singles Chart on May 17, 2009 at number 38. Also in the U.S. it made a "Hot Shot Debut" at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is currently on the C-List of the BBC Radio 1 playlist.
Beautiful deals with Eminem's different feelings and impressions, ranging from depression about his fame and career to more upbeat and inspirational concepts, similar to "Lose Yourself." It's also worth noting that Eminem started writing "Beautiful" when he was in rehab then finished it when he was sober, which may explain the stark contrast in the lyrics in comparison with the other songs from Relapse.
At the end of the song, the line goes "To all my babies, stay strong. Daddy will be home soon." This line refers to Eminem's daughter Hailie, adopted niece Alaina, and step-daughter Whitney.
