Macklemore Wrote A Song For His Daughter

In what is one of the sweetest gestures ever, Macklemore dedicated his song "Growing Up" to his new daughter. On Aug. 5, he made the announcement via his official website, adding that Sloane Ava Simone Haggerty was born in May. The message was coupled with an adorable photo of Macklemore cradling his daughter's hand. As touching as the song is, the singer isn't the first celebrity to dedicate a song to his child.

Macklemore also shared his joy in becoming a father, writing:

Our daughter, Sloane Ava Simone Haggerty was born two months ago on May 29. There is nothing like the joy and happiness that comes from bringing a baby into this universe. She has filled my heart in ways that I never knew were possible. She is the love of my life. This song is for her.

He notes that the song is partially his advice about growing up, but also him trying to figure out how to grow up. From the deeply personal lyrics to Ed Sheeran's feature, "Growing Up" will likely stand out as one of the best tracks in Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' catalog.
