Some of Eminem's new music has stirred strong emotions in his daughter Hailie Jade Scott.

The 28-year-old has shared how she was impacted by the rapper and Jelly Roll's new track "Somebody Save Me," which depicts an alternate reality in which the rapper never got sober and missed family milestones. She also expressed her feelings about her dad and Skylar Grey's song "Temporary," a tribute to Hailie, which includes audio of her recorded when she was a baby. 

"Speaking of things I watched this past week, which I guess I'll say watched, but I refused to watch again—the 'Somebody Save Me' music video is out and I did watch the thing," she said on the Aug. 23 episode of her Just a Little Shady podcast. "I don't think I can do it again. I definitely cry every time I hear it at all."

Eminem, who celebrated 16 years of sobriety in April after battling addictions to alcohol and prescription drugs, included footage of Hailie in the music video for "Somebody Save Me."

"Hailie, I'm so sorry I know I wasn't there for your first guitar recital," he raps on the track. "Didn't walk you down the aisle / Missed the birth of your first child / Your first podcast, lookin' down, sweetie."

The musician, who joined Hailie at her wedding to Evan McClintock in May, continues, "I'm so proud of how you turned out / Sorry that I chose drugs and put 'em above you / Sorry that I didn't love you enough to give 'em up / how the f--k do I not love you more than a pill? Lookin' up to the ceilin' from this floor, wonder will."

Hailie said on the podcast, "Between that and 'Temporary,' OK, well, that I listened to and it broke me. I audibly sobbed I think for both songs, but especially 'Temporary.'"

On that track, Eminem raps about what Hailie's life could be like after he dies.

"Yeah, and you will get over me and move on," the lyrics go. "You can play me on repeat on a song / But don't you dare shed a tear, what'd I tell you? / 'Straighten up, little soldier,' them times when I held you / Jade, it'll be okay, baby, I'm here, hey / I'm watching you right now, baby girl, I vow / I will protect you, your guardian angel."

Hailie, one of Eminem's and ex-wife Kim Scott's three children, continued, "Watching the video back and listening to the songs, I feel like my parents did such a good job. Growing up, where I didn't realize how bad things were, but now as an adult, in hindsight, it's so scary to think about. I think that's why I get emotional so much, just thinking that that could have happened."

Hailie said that while it was fun to see clips of herself and her siblings when they were younger in their dad's music videos, she still gets emotional listening to his music at times.

"The older I get," she said, "the less I can listen to any of the songs."

Look back at Eminem's family tree...

Born Kimberly Ann Scott, the Michigan native was Eminem's high school sweetheart. She welcomed their daughter Hailie Jade in 1995.

Kim was married to the rapper from 1999 to 2001, and briefly again in 2006. Their tumultuous relationship has been referenced in several of Eminem's songs, including "'97 Bonnie & Clyde," "Puke" and "Bad Husband."

"In our relationship, there's a pattern," Kim said of their on-and-off romance in a 2007 interview with 20/20. " We'll have two good years and then it will go bad for some reason. It's like a two-year max with us and we hadn't reached the two years yet. I just didn't want to rush into anything before the two years."

However, Kim noted that Eminem has always been an "excellent" father.

"He loves the kids very much," she shared. "He's always lending a helping hand."

Eminem and Kim welcomed Hailie on Dec. 25, 1995. According to music star, her birth was a "real wake-up call" to "get my a-- in gear."

"Everything that I am doing right now is for Hailie," he told Q magazine in 2001. "The money—it's for her college."

She spent most of her youth under Eminem's 15,000-square-foot roof in the Detroit suburbs, before attending Michigan State University to study psychology. There, she started fellow Spartan Evan McClintock, who she got engaged to in February 2023.

"She's doing good," Eminem said of Hailie during a 2020 episode of Hotboxin' With Mike Tyson, adding that the influencer—who now goes by Hailie Jade—graduated from college with a 3.9 GPA. "She's made me proud for sure."

Born on Feb. 22, 1993, Alaina is the daughter of Kim's sister Dawn Scott. 

She was adopted by Eminem in the early aughts due to her mother's struggles with addiction. "I have full custody of my niece and joint custody of Hailie," the 8 Mile star told Rolling Stone in 2004. "I was always there for Hailie, and my niece has been a part of my life ever since she was born. Me and Kim pretty much had her, she'd live with us wherever we was at."

Having been largely raised by Eminem, the Oakland University alum calls him "dad" and had him accompany her down the aisle when she wed Matt Moeller in June 2023.

"He wasn't going to miss that," she told People after the nuptials, during which Hailie served as a Maid of Honor. "None of this would have been possible without my dad. I'm beyond blessed."

Her mother passed away in 2016 at the age of 41.

Kim welcomed Stevie on April 16, 2002, with her then-boyfriend Eric Hartter. Eminem legally adopted Stevie in 2005, when he reconciled with Kim.

Stevie came out as nonbinary in August 2021, sharing in a TikTok video that they identify using "all pronouns."

They added in the caption, "forever growing and changing."

Born in 1955 at a military base in Kansas, Debbie is the mother of Eminem.

She married the "Without Me" artist's father Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. when she was 15, according to her 2008 memoir My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem. She began pregnant with Eminem 16 months later and relocated to Michigan, where her maternal grandmother lived.

Debbie and Eminem's strained relationship has been documented in several of his songs, including his 2002 smash hit "Cleanin' Out My Closet." In the track, he alleged that Debbie abused prescription pills when he was young—which she denied in her autobiography. 

"What mother wants to be known as a pill-popping alcoholic who lives on welfare?" she wrote. "None of it was true, but the fibs kept getting bigger, and ultimately Marshall and I became estranged."

However, Eminem has since expressed regret in airing out his family drama. In his 2013 song "Headlights," he rapped, "I went in headfirst, never thinking about who, what I said hurt / In what verse, my mom probably got it the worst."
