Eminem‘s new music video will surely tug at the heartstrings.
On Thursday, Oct. 3, the rapper released a heartfelt music video for his song “Temporary,” which is dedicated to his now 28-year-old daughter Hailie Jade Scott.
The five-minute music video features old photos and footage of Hailie Jade — whom he welcomed with ex Kim Scott at age 23 in 1995 — growing up. In the end, she reveals to Eminem that she’s pregnant.
In “Temporary,” Eminem, 51, says that his biggest fear is “not being able to say all the things I wanna say to you when I’m no longer here” — so he does just that.
The song, which features vocals by Skylar Grey, was included in Eminem’s latest studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).
Between the sweet moments as a young girl to the emotional exchanges on her wedding day, here’s all the never-before-seen moments in the “Temporary” music video.
The father-daughter photo slideshow
In the first 30 seconds of the music video, photos of Hailie Jade as a little girl flash on the screen.
The photos range from baby pictures, to father-daughter shots, to silly moments throughout her childhood.
Later in the video, Eminem shares footage from simple moments with Hailie Jade — like her dancing, falling on a snowboard, in class, on her birthday and graduation day.

An inside look at her wedding day
Around the two-minute mark, Eminem appears in the video wearing a suit and tie as he climbs up a flight of stairs.
Then, he greets his daughter for a first-look on her wedding day and immediately gives her a big hug.
After taking a good look at her in her wedding dress, Eminem bursts into tears.
Later on in the video, in the same room, Hailie Jade hands him a gift. The gift came with a note and Hailie Jade is seen smiling as he reads it. When he finishes it, he grows emotional again and gives her another big hug.
Then, viewers see footage of Eminem walking Hailie Jade down the aisle and eventually handing her over to husband Evan McClintock.
In the end, the duo is seen doing their father-daughter dance at the wedding.
The pregnancy reveal
In a clip in the video, Hailie Jade hands Eminem a Detroit Lions football jersey that says “Grandpa” on the back and the number 1.
She also hands him a sonogram image, leaving him visibly shocked with his jaw dropped and his eyes widened.

The sweet card
In the end, there’s a zoomed-in view of the card Hailie Jade gave to Eminem on her wedding day.
The card’s text read, “…because no matter how many years go by, inside my heart will always be the little girl who loves and needs her dad.”
Then, the camera pans to the note she wrote inside.
“Dad, I got this card a few years ago and held onto it and now feels like the perfect time to give you it. Thank you for everything you do and always being there for all of us girls. You truly are the best dad in the world. Love you forever + 100 million dollars forever ever and always,” she wrote, signing the end of the card “Bean.”
