This is based on his life. He has three daughters. Hailie is his only biological daughter, but he adopted Laney (the other girl in the video). She was the daughter of his ex wifes twin sister - and later he adopted Whitney. The daughter his ex wife had with another man. Laney just got married, and Hailie is engaged. They seem to be doing very well😊

And people still questioning Em popularity... This is why. Thank you for that genuine reaction! Big hug

I’m a 47 year old man, father of an 8 year old daughter. I cry everytime I hear this song

Im a 43 yr old man with twin daughters, i cry everytime i hear this song and 2pacs dear mama..

I don’t think any mainstream rapper has been so open about his personal life like Em.

I cried while watching this! Never really appreciated this masterpeice when I was younger. This was so sad to watch now as an adult 😢

I'm 100% sure if it wasn't for Hailie we would have lost Em years ago, that girl was his rock. She has grown up into a beautiful, smart successful woman. The other little girl was his niece that he ended up raising and adopting. Even through all the crazy life he is still an amazing dad.

“You never thought rap would make you cry”, listen at Tupac “Dear Mama” and you will cry again ❤.

Eminem is REAL and he's a brilliant story teller as well, he has made the best of us cry 😂 I cried in Arose and walk on water along with a few others over the years lol.

Their reaction is genuine though.. i felt that

And this is why EM is the best selling rapper of all time. It's universal. Great reaction ✌️👍🙂

Y'all got me crying and I've heard this song a thousand times over the years

This is one of a few reasons Eminem is compared to 2pac - His ability to go from aggressive/scary/psycho lyrics like 3am or Brain Damage etc to something as serious and emotional as Mockingbird or Hailey's Song.

I grew up without my dad and I became a dad at 17 my kids are strong and beautiful and I’m 28 now got a 10 year old boy and a 5 year old girl. I realised that my dad taught me a valuable lesson by leaving us. I knew the struggles me my siblings and my mum felt without my dad there. I knew when I got older I was gonna take care of my own and love them to death. This song is beautiful and I’m happy to share this story with you guys. Your reaction was pure and awesome ✌️to anyone out there who never had there dad around know this. One day you’ll look at that as a blessing because it helped piece the person you are. 💪

Eminem is able to make us have all emotions. Laugh, cry and everything in between. You should listen to one of his freestyles

A beautiful reaction . When music moves you inside it has successfully served its purpose as art .

I’m the father of a teenage daughter and because of that seeing these girls cry makes me cry. Having a daughter softened my heart. I don’t want any girls to have to feel sad or cry ever.

This is why people love Em - he's not afraid to be real. He doesn't hide all the time behind an image and play "gangsta". He will reveal his heart and people relate to that. Fake can get you attention, but it doesn't keep people's attention for long. The spectacle passes. People want to feel connected to artists and sitting on a mountain of cash surrounded by "bitches" isn't relatable and frankly, gets tiring to hear about.

As a Kenyan Stan, Eminem fan. I subscribed. Do more Eminem.

A lot of us men in the Untied States can relate to Marshalls life.

I've never been so happy to be subscribed to someone before, this reaction was beautiful

Listened to this song numerous times since I was little. Today was the first time I ever cried listening to it. I have a 1 year old daughter now and I love her so much. This song hits completely different now. I grew up without a father. I can't EVER imagine leaving my little girl. EVER.

i cry everytime and ive knew this song for most my life! , I get you girls 100% x

This song is very heart felt .....you would not be the 1st person to cry listening to this song! Many of us have ...believe me! ❤😢. Great reaction ladies! Nice to see new people discovering Eminem! 😁💕

I've listened to this track hundreds of times but this is the first time I've listened to it while watching the video. After my marriage ended last year, and having daughters myself, this broke me.

Wonderful song and video. So sad what they went through. Your reactions were so sweet and lovely.

4:54 those few lines are about Laney. Laney was the daughter of his ex wife’s sister. There was nobody there to take her in, so he did & raised her since she was like 4 years old. He also took in Whitney which was his ex wife’s daughter that she had with a different man. So Eminem took in 2 little girls that needed parents & raised them as a single father. That just makes me respect him on a whole different level because very few men would do that. They all seem to be doing great, and it’s clear he did a damn incredible job as a father & he continues to.

I love the raw reaction from you two. And the fact that your not talking through it or pausing every second. Great job. React to more eminem like HAILEYS SONG.

This song is one of his best ones ever, it’s very emotional and if you know his story and his background, you know

Its so amazing to see em reach poeple with his music. And the music having the lovely effect it was meant to have

I am a 63 year old grandmother and this song still touches my heart when I hear it

Bravo girls!!! There is sooooo many legendary songs from EM....easy👏🏼🙏🏼

You two are just beautiful souls, thank you for this reaction, much love!

Anytime am home with my daughter and she’s crying when the mom is not around I always play mockingbird for her and the song works magic.

More Eminem. Please 🙏🥺

Aww, you're both so sweet for getting emotional, I love seeing it, you made me cry too.

I see how this is so emotional for you. The lyrics have touched your heart. I'm a mother and embrace you in a big hug. May peace and love always be with you

Thank you both for sharing your deep emotions with us! Kind regards and hugs!! All the best for your future Stefan

Y’all made me cry 😭

Bless you two beautiful hearted ladies

This is true story!

Eminem the lyrically genius. This song really got me as I know what he went through fighting for his daughter. ❤

We all just taught about our parents and our fathers…and it all gets emotional when you understand everything and how deep it is, i also cried a lot ❤

Hi from czechia. I'm a man and I cry too when I hear this song. your reaction is great. I love you😊

Such sweet reaction.. You two have such pure hearts. Bless you Two beautiful women.

You are both so lovely. I like how you show how we all feel. Thank you.

I cry every time I hear it. Somehow it perfectly encapsulates my life. I could explain how but I won’t.

I just randomly came across this video and it just made me literally cry, this is one of the best authentic reaction videos I’ve ever seen. Amazing ❤

EM's life in his songs are Facts ❤That's why I love EM❤

If you want a real tearjerker, Eminem ‘Castle’ and then ‘Arose’ in that order. You need to do them together. ‘Headlights’ is also really good and very emotional. He’s such a wonderful storyteller.

Everytime I hear this song, I cry and I can't stop my tears to roll... No one will never do such a beautiful music... That's why we listen to Eminem.

Best reaction I've ever seen. I was crying with you. Such beautiful souls 💖

Beautiful. Em was with me - as with many, many of us - from the early days of youth. Broken and genius at the same time. Much love.

Next eminem when iam gone

This song is at the top of my list of reasons why he is objectively a requirement in any “Top 5”. We can all name the few rappers who have made you cry with a verse. That is the mark of a true artist - a poet. This song alone puts Eminem in that category. It is flawless lyrically and the story will break any parent in half. When he talks about the presents under the tree…that’s one of the most powerful visuals I’ve ever heard in any genre. The only emcees that really floored me like that were Ghostface in “All that I got is you”, Quan in “Just a Moment” and Danja Mowf in “Strange Fruit”. Em absolutely created a diamond that everyone can appreciate with this track.

It has been almost 20 years and this song still makes me cry every time I hear it. Also his song Sing for the Moment makes me cry too, such powerful songs that I found in a dark time in my life.

I've probably heard this song at least a hundred times by now and still get goosebumps everytime I hear it.

One of my faves from Em. I cried watching you cry but haven’t cried to the song in a long time.

Eminem touches the soul with his music

its hard not to cry listening to this. i was in elementary school when i heard this and i cried then

Such a beautiful song and a beautiful reaction. Thank you

Played this all the time when I couldn't see my kid. Gets me 😢 every time!

Music and remembering connects souls. Love.

I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job but his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom. Damn, this verse is absolutely sad, really hard. Goat

One of Em's best. You two are sweethearts ❤

I've loved this song since I was a child and I still cry every time. Especially with the video. Same with When I'm Gone and honestly, a lot of Eminem's songs. So it's not just you, my sisters😂 loved the reaction, you're both beautiful. New subscriber🤚🏾

This song always makes me cry, even til this day.

The most beautiful reaction I have ever seen!!! ❤❤❤ Love the love!

im an eminem fan and listen to this very often and since i started listening to it a lot i dont cry when i hear it but seeing other people cry always breaks my heart,and even if im seeing u for the first time this broke my heart

Love the reaction, so real🙌🏼💪🏼❤️

I’ve watched this video so many times and I cry EVERY time I watch it. It’s ok to get emotional. It’s def a hard video to watch. Very emotional. Enjoyed your video

I absolutely adore these beautiful ladies

Love your reaction! This one always gets me in the feels. ❤

Seeing this through your eyes is so profound!! 🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜

Best reaction on here. Love you two

I absolutely love your reaction, made me see the song in a different way

It's really wild how emotional the video and song make people. Both men and women get hit in the feelings watching this one. It really is a beautiful song.

Great reaction! 💙

I love how your reaction has an after thought section, not just the reaction. Great video.

Music with meaning ceases to never not move people emotionally that is what makes a great artist songs or sounds that can connect people or connect with people

Forever obsessed with this song

Beautiful reaction ❤video ladles! Em is the best of the best

I love y'alls genuine reaction.. this is how it hit us in 04

Man this song still has me balling my eyes out like it was the first time I have heard it. More so now because of how grown up his kids are now and how far they have come.

This it what makes him great , he can transmit so much.

I absolutely love this reaction yall both are awesome. It was a great emotional song.

Beautiful ladies reacting to a beautiful song. Great video ladies.

I got introduced to Em from my uncle and every time I listen to it, it makes me think of him and call him. I was his first baby before he had kids. ❤❤

Watching other people listen to Eminems deeper songs is as close to listening to it for the first time.. thank you for sharing ❤

I cried too. This song hits so you hard cause he’s telling his truth to the world and letting us in. Eminem was the realest rapper out there

As a father with two young boys this so real n trying to give those boys good life even if world trying to knock u down. Em always on point n speakin truth.

Great reaction girls!!

Thank you for this reaction ❤️

Em .... just Em ... he's the only one I've followed since his beginnings and am proud of what he's accomplished, his endurance, and all he has gone through to get where he is now. I wish I knew him personally, but just feeling his (more serious and motivating) songs in lift me up day to day ... that is enough. Stan of GOAT

Love your energy ❤

His lyrics are always so deep ❤

I love this song. Now my grandson loves it too. It's based on an old lullaby called Hush Little Baby. A lot of people my age say don't listen to eminem cuz of his language, but his stories of finding happiness and being the best you can be are so good!

Watching clips from people's lives like this is just raw and real, damn.

thats true Art & Beauty coming together

This is the first time ive heard this song aswell and oh my goodness this is absolutely heartbreaking but beautiful at the same time
