I wish that I could say that I was in a “better place” when I found out the news. It would make for a far more polished and respectable story. But I think back to that night: praying on the floor at 2am as Tricia went to the bathroom to take the pregnancy test I’d just purchased from Walgreens. I was scared. Scared to start working on new music. Scared of trying again and failing. Scared of the process of staring at myself through a page and seeing someone that I wasn’t proud of. Someone that I didn’t like. Someone that wasn’t ready to be a dad.
I’ve always had some make-believe image in my head of who I would be as a father. I held on to clear expectations of where I wanted be in my career, my age, my level of self-care, and my maturity. I basically assumed that I'd have it all together. But in actuality the hypothetical “dad" version of me looked completely different than the man whose heart was beating out of his chest on the carpet, praying to a god or spirit I hadn’t talked to in months. When Tricia walked out of the bathroom, I knew. And I knew I had to change.
5 months later we were recording in a remote cabin away from the density that is Seattle. I was finally having fun in the studio for the first time in years. Songs were getting made, finally. I was going back to the city once a week to attend a birthing class with Tricia. When I got back to the cabin the next day, Ryan had made a new beat that would eventually become the song you’re listening to. Half of it is advice about growing up. The other half is trying to figure out how to grow up myself.
When you try to escape yourself, life has an interesting way of creating situations that force you to come back. To look at who you are. This is why “Growing up” felt like the right song to re-emerge with. It’s where I’ve been the last year, through all the ups and downs. We didn’t want to do a big campaign or anything over the top with this. We just wanted to put out good music, directly to the people that have been here since the beginning. Thank you for your patience. Hope you enjoy.
And if you’re wondering…
Our daughter, Sloane Ava Simone Haggerty was born 2 months ago on May 29th. 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.
- Ben

Macklemore and Eminem will be an amazing team up. Hit like if you agree
instead of Eminem make it MGK
+Dalton Childs (Repherr) How is Eminem crazy now? He hasn't done much since he finished the promotion of Marshall Mather LP 2.
Dalton Childs he's not crazy. slim shady is crazy. the only problem he reported had was drug abuse. he could've died. after that experience, he's slowly "recovering" from any "relapse" he had.
Nope
+nathaniel abriol My words !
Awesome. We can always count on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis to make amazing music.
And ed sheeran
Can't forget about Carly Rae Jepsen
You're joking right?
EZ64 it's awful!?
Henry Basket she's not even in the same league
"The quickest way to happiness: learning to be selfless. Ask more questions, talk about yourself less." Damn I love these lyrics.
❤❤❤❤
Its February 2022, let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible song🧡
🕺🏾
❤️
I sit here listening to this song thinking about my son that's about to come into this world. I can't wait to be a dad and I hope I can be the dad that my son needs me to be. This song really hits home. I want to be strict but at the same time forgiving of those dumb kid mistakes. I can't wait. People may say Macklemore isn't the best, but he's the only rapper that can make think, laugh, get pumped up and cry all on one album. That's talent
+The Bobby D Show I wish you all the best with that! :)
- Sincerely, a random 19 year old on the internet.
J cole is one of the rappers who can do that as well
+The Bobby D Show snore.
You snore? I don't understand why that matters but I believe if you slightly raise your head with pillows, it can elevate some of your snoring issues. I hope this helps. I'm not really a sleep expert but I appreciate you coming to me with your needs. Please let me know if you need anything else in the sleep department.
+The Bobby D Show you'll be an amazing father, let ur child know about this God ;-)
I teared up. This is why I love Macklemore
He speaks the truth
*Tore
That's why I like Macklemore he doesn't rap bout girls n shit he raps bout real shit
+Abbie Searles i love this song too. also myself
+Kristina Taube I'm dead from all those feels.
This was one of my mums favourite songs 💙
Fly high Mummy 15/10/74 -7/9/18 😭😭
I’m sorry for your loss. May she Rest In Peace.
i know i’m a year late but i’m sorry for ur loss ❤️
She must have truly loved you so much if this was one of her favorite songs,I’m 8 months pregnant with my little boy on the way listening too this,I truly can’t express how this comment hit me for some reason
still listening in 2023, who's with me
eminem = rap into music
macklemore = poem into music
Ed Sheeran - Emotion in music ;)
+MA M ehh but my opinion is Eminem is better because he raps about life and experience in thing.
Eminem = wack
Macklemore = not corny like Eminem
Eminem and Macklemore are both true RAP artists. RAP is rhythm and poetry, they both present poetry through rhythm. Eminem is just more aggressive, Macklemore is softer. Eminem sings about not holding back, Macklemore sings about value and being yourself. They sing about different things, so you can't really compare them to each other. They're both great though IMO☺.
+sintell terry fuck up lol you know nothing
Is it just me or did this song just really came out of the blue? If so, I fucking love him for that.
***** I WUDNT EVEN PAY FOR IT CUS IT CRAP!
Not so out of the blue since he is working on the new album and his daughter was just born...
+TopCodVids dude, just leave. Nobody gives the smallest fraction of a fuck about the hatred you choose to inflict upon us, and the only reason I'm telling you to fuck off is because your comments taint the beautiful poetry and message of this song. If you must be a bellend, at least be a cocked up pain in the arse in someone else's video.
On Instagram he said Ryan had the beat the day he got back to the cabin where they were recording after his daughter was born and that was two months ago so they've just been perfecting it since then
Caitlyn O'Hanna I'm pretty sure it's a boy?
I’m leaving this here so whenever it gets a like I’m reminded of this masterpiece💯
I can't listen to this song without crying. I have a 2 year old son & his dad has been away studying since baby was 6 months old. We are miles apart and he only comes home once every few months as it is too expensive. We make the sacrifice for our child so his dad can get a good qualification and give him a good life. Its tough but we make it work. My partner sent me the link to this song a week after he first left & it broke me! The line your momma is the toughest person i know really got me as my partner has said that to me before, that im tough & we can get thro the separation. I actually messaged Macklemore to thank him for this beautiful song, not that he'll ever see it but i felt better having sent it 😍
Are things better now ?
@@Warlock786 They actually are, thank you for asking. My partner graduated while our son watched him collect his scroll in his cap & gown. Perseverance & sacrifice are key 👍🏼
@@seashell831 I am so pleased to hear that. Just the story I needed..I have been away from my son and wife for 9 months now, my son is 5. Trying to get a job...when I will have one Ill be able to call them over and continue where we left off. Your comment was something I could genuinely relate to, its not easy raising a kid without your husband nor is it easy for a father to be away from his family, glad things turned out well.
@@Warlock786 Thank you for your kind words. It is indeed difficult & it's not for the faint hearted. It's difficult when your child asks when is daddy coming home but with all that is currently going on in the world particularly in the USA im just grateful that my family is safe.
I really hope you and your wife & son are reunited soon. It'll all be worth it in the end. I hope u are at least all in the same country? x
@@seashell831 well my wife is in Chicago and Im in London (Long story). I wish you well and Thank You
Macklemore + Ryan Lewis + Ed Sheeran = Best song ever!! It's basic math :)
Truth!!
How do I math?
kobe smalls You cheat in calculus, like the man himself told you in this song ;-)
+Baby Simba how about you go back to English class dumbass
"You're only young once, my love, one. This is your chance. Take risks cause life moves so fast. You're only young once, my love, one. This is your chance."
***** K, we're making this a thing. #YOYO
One of my favourite lines " the quickest way to happiness, is learning to be selfless ask more questions and talk about yourself less"
Caught this on my local station. Sometimes you lift your eyes to what you're hearing on the radio and just say: TRUTH.
coming from someone who never really had a father figure growing up, this song hits hard, right in the feels.
Same here. Song gots some touchy shit.
+ItsSkyRocketM8 I know what you mean my dad Died when i was 6 and this song hits hard down there keep going bro
I feel the same way dude
eve
+epixdotcom not the best time 2 joke with this when they are talking about dead parents or gone parents
Why does a song like this have a dislike button?

I can't stop crying cuz my dad played this on my 9th birthday.
I think people passed out while listening to this and fell on the dislike button😅
That's the only logical reason someone would dislike. Am i right.
maybe their phone or sumin was upside down
+Pugerus or they are stupid
LOL. You made my day
Or they don't like Ed Sheeran moaning.... :D
My two favourite redheads making a song together. Life is good.
Macklemore is blond😐
Do you know who is macklemore ??
Do you know about grammar
Hannah Young You forgot a question mark. Also, it would be phrased, "do you know how to use grammar?" Just saying.
Christian Soto Ehhh... it should be phrased... jussayin :)
Anyone in 2024 listening to this?
Here mate
My baby boy was born today. I just came here to shed some more tears of pure happiness. This song has the lyrics that just hit hard right now.
Oh sorry, need another handkerchief……
This song hits the nail on the head. I am 28 and going to be a father in February, and I am excited, frightened, happy, anxious, etc. I have a fantastic wife, who also happens to be the toughest person I know. I have a career that is demanding, and I work 70+ hours, and I don't want to be the dad who is absent but at the same time need to maintain the same level of income (if not more) to support my little guy. I guess what I am trying to say is- I cant wait to be a Dad, I hope I am the father my son needs, and Honeygirl, if you read this, you're going to crush it and be a perfect mother to our perfect son.
Congrats man! Hope everything goes well!
Christian Ries you're gonna be a great father, I work 70+ hours a week and my daughter is going to be born in one week and four days and I am so excited and anxious to be a dad and truly hope I can be there more for her and spend as much time as possible but I gotta work to make as much money and possibly more too, but yeah we are gonna be great fathers and one day our kids will understand what it feels like!!! Good luck you guys are gonna be great parents!!!
I'm on the same train man. congrats on your upcoming baby.
+Christian Ries It's hard but you can do it. I'm 21 and I have a 2.5 year old and 3 month old. I work long shifts in the medical field, so sometimes i don't get to see my kids in a day, but i always make sure to facetime them :) and i wake them up at night to see them :P I don't care if i have to rock them back to sleep, I enjoy seeing them :)
+scarhbar23 😭😭😭I'm seriously crying right now that's so nice😇keep it up
I almost cried when i saw the short video of his family at the end.
The lyric, the message, the beat, the voices, all about them, so beautiful and sweet.
Hahha i did cry 😅😂 and iam a boy haha sorry ^^

+chrisdolan74 awqrtc
who thumbs down such an awesome about a dad and his child. shame on you people
They say boys don't cry
But your dad has shed a lot of tears
They say I should be a strong man
But baby, I'm still filled with fear
Sometimes I don't know who I am
Sometimes I question why I'm here
I just wanna be a good dad
Will I be I have no idea
They say girls shouldn't be tough
And moms should raise their kids at home
But baby, I know that that isn't true
'Cause your momma's the toughest person I know
I wanna raise you to be like her
And watch you show the world how to do it on your own
I'm still tryna figure out who I am
I don't wanna mess this up or do this wrong
I'm gonna be there for your first breath
I don't know if I'll be there for your first step
I can promise you that I'll try to work less
But the tour's routed, and I got this album
Put in so many hours, and I just want the outcome
To be something that I can look back and I can be proud of
Don't wanna be a dad that's living in FaceTime
But I've got a world to sing to and you at the same time
I won't spoil you, you can trust that
For your sweet sixteen, you get a bus pass
Had your heart broken, been there, done that
I love you and I can't give you enough of that
Get back to community that raised you up
Read Langston Hughes, I suggest A Raisin in the Sun
Listen to Sam Cooke, a change gon' come
You put the work in, don't worry about the praise, my love
Don't try to change the world, find something that you love
And do it every day
Do that for the rest of your life
And eventually, the world will change
I'll be patient, one more month
You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb
Times are changing, I know, but who am I if
I'm the person you become
If I'm still growing up, up, up, up
I'm still growing up, up, up, up
I'm still growing up
I recommend that you read The Alchemist
Listen to your teachers, but cheat in calculus
Tell the truth, regardless of the consequence
And every day, give your momma a compliment
Take your girl to the prom
But don't get too drunk hanging out the limo
Slow dance with your woman in your arms
Sneak her in after but boy, you better tiptoe
Don't wake your mom up, do yoga, learn 'bout karma
Find God, but leave the dogma
The quickest way to happiness learning to be selfless
Ask more questions, talk about yourself less
Study David Bowie, James Baldwin and 2Pac
Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop
Wear a helmet, don't be stupid, jaywalk, but look before you do it
If it snows, go outside, build a jump, get some help
Get a sled, thrash the hill with your friends, 'til it melts
Go to festivals, camp, fall in love and dance
You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance
Take risks, 'cause life moves so fast
You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance
I'll be patient, one more month
You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb
Times are changing, I know, but who am I
If I'm the person you become
If I'm still growing up, up, up, up
I'm still growing up, up, up, up
I'll be patient, one more month
You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb
Times are changing, I know, but who am I
If I'm the person you become
If I'm still growing up, still growing up, still growing up
If I'm still growing up, still growing up, still growing up
If I'm still growing up
I'm still growing up, ooh
I'm still growing up
I'm still growing up
🙏🙏👍👍

Wow the comment was meant to be positive yet people bash a whole bunch of negative comments after it? Really?
So heartfelt.
Wasn't supposed BE a hit song it was for his beloved daughter.
LOVE THIS!!!!!!
***** You are SO right. :)
I feel like Macklemore and Ryan Tedder are the two most human, most real celebrities in the modern day. I think it's because, like some of the greats of the past, like The Rat Pack, they came from having very little, to having everything, but they did it through hard work and dedication, not through hand outs. They busted their asses, doing everything they could to get where they wanted in life. They are the kind of people America was built by and for, and they're the ones that take full advantage of that today. Macklemore's songs remind me of things my high school PE teacher used to say. Mr Ninnis, if you're reading this, your little speeches every day in class were the only thing I liked about that school. Very little brings a tear to my eye, but these songs come damn close every time. It's beautiful, frankly
Anyone In 2020 listening to this
Me and my girlfriend are right now
No, just watching without sound

"Find something that you love and do it everyday. Do that for the rest of your life, and eventually the world will change" even now, in August 2016 I still love the message behind this song.
Yes I know how u feel. some part of his lyric hit our hearts in many ways and this song is one of my favorite song. whatever happens to u I hope you getting better. Guess, macklemore wanna said that to us.
This is like my Dad Me and my Mom, My brother died in a bus crash 😞😦😧😭😩😭😭

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I got massive "Small Bump" feels from Ed's part...What it happening?
It's not just me then. I think it's mostly the slower tempo and the lyrics you'll wrap your fingers round my thumb?
***** Yeah that line "put your fingers around my thumb" is directly from small bump
"You can wrap your fingers around my thumb" Yes
Well of course it was mostly the lyrics...clearly,but I don't know,,,the whole "mood" of the song and Ed's incredibly beautiful voice...It was a combination I guess!!!
Well the song is dedicated to Macks 2 year old daughter its a inspiration song taking the time to grow and growing up for the ppl you love
Anyone listening this in 2023

I heard this song first on radio while driving in the car. There is no song in the world that ever touched me so deep. My little girl was about 2years, we lived with 3 souls (Mother 24y, Father 25y, Kid 2y) in a small flat, one room for the kid and one for anything else. Constantly broke and every day was like running in a rabbit wheel, just trying to keep heads above the water. No idea what to do with my life and how to raise my daughter. It was under those circumstances when my radio played the song. Whenever i hear it, even after all those years, I instantly start to cry.
Hit song, I'm calling it
see ya everywhere just was about to reply to you in another video lmao.
Meno :P
keep at it maybe we'll meet again.
Meno We just might

Best book i read . Thank YOU
"Study David Bowie" we are all studying Bowie today. Macklemore will have an emotional tour singing this song!
+Rebecca Quam i was just thinking about this. How the people that should be studied are all now not with us. RIP to all those legends. Perhaps he predicted this like he did with gay marriage with "Same Love"

my favorite part was listen to tupac
what part does he say that

Thank u Lix for the recommendation 💛
I love how relatable this song is. My dad passed away in 2013 and I feel like he’s talking me through this song. Especially the “Your mom is the toughest person I know.” It makes you realize how important family is and what they do. My mom is by herself raising 3 kids and I honestly don’t know how she does it
00⁰
My dad died when I was 6 and mom raised 3 boys by herself
I think the same
WHO DISLIKES THIS?!?!?!?!
You.

+Caroline Jones YOU -.-

Noone people just tried to like twice 😉
I'm just 16, but my dad passed away to cancer 51 weeks ago today. We played ping pong every day. He was my best friend and this song reminds me of him. I hope I can have the same relationship with my son that my dad had with me.
2024 and I am waiting for my son. This song hits hard. His going to have to listen to this on repeat
Anyone in 2023 listening to this waiting anxiously to see what a beautiful thing you’ve done
This song should be played everywhere in every single language

I always feel like Macklemore is more than the rest of the big name artists these days.
straife1 *more real
straife1 No, there's Kendrick Lamar, there's J. Cole, there's Chance The Rapper.
+straife1 more then can mean that as well as many other titles. he is more real. more ginest. more authentic. more loving. more and so much more
Lol sure, you're acting as if he's the only one that does these things. You need to branch out and listen to other rappers such as Nas. Nas is one of the best. He'd never was a sellout. He's,loyal, unselfish and a real loving MC. He tried to save hip-hop, also he made the best hip-hop album which is arguably the best hip-hop album known to man. Album is called Illmatic. Nas is a true piece of art. He has so much flow.,He's a lyrical genius that raps on important matters.
+straife1 I Totally Agree
How the actual fuck could you dislike this?
they misread it for 'dis i like'
So old 😂

it's only 1 year old, that's not even close to being old.
Matt Kissinger the joke is only one year old?
when my dad past away, i thought leaving to be with him was the best thing to do. my whole world shaked. but then i heard this song a week after he died, and it reminded me off him, and i smiled and knew that he was here. it still feels like yesterday. this song means so much to me. i love u dad, and i always be your little baby girl xx

I feel you, my dad died a few months ago, I'm sorry that you have to feel this too, but he was a good man, and I'm sure yours was too
This is why I like CZcams the best than other platforms. I didn't know this song exists.
Macklemore is one of very few artists that stays true to his music. :)
ryan lewis is actually with him :D
true
Jayden Llamas and one that doesn't only rap about weed and sex and he isn't sexist #equality
Cookie Baby Scroobius Pip isn't as pop friendly as Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, but a good portion of his music is meaningful and thought provoking. Might give him a try. Have a blessed day :)
when he started he had gay song like thrift shop
Love how Macklemore is such a real and genuine person, even after all his fame.
Indeed it is amazing how he stayed true to himself I really like that! This song is amazing and so truthful ^-^

Still a good song to have in ur head in 2023
My dad left me. This man writes a song for his daughter...
This is a real man, ladies and gentlemen
Why isn't this on spotify... Sigh. Love this song.
It's on Soundcloud...
I was thinking the same thing been looking for it and no we're yet
+Avinash Jain Just download it from the link in the description. When you have it on your computer it should appear in the Local Files folder on Spotify. Now you can play it and add it to any of your playlists like a normal song :)
+Avinash Jain i was trying to add this song in my Spotify playlist, well i guess nothing beats youtube, i only hope that youtube creates an app something like spotify, so i can delete my spotify XD
Joshua Chong Local files feature on Spotify. Try it, you're missing out! (You can get any yt video to your spotify)
A lot of young men out there need to listen to this song. To many children being raised by single mothers. Children need a strong male presence in their lives just as much as they need a strong mother to guide them through this journey.
I was raised by a single mother and it's true. I still haven't grown up but I have to teach myself now
Stephen Villarreal and the world needs to realize that more young men do WANT to be there, that sexism shit needs to stop. idc who births the child, doesn't make you an angel. too many hoes out there in it for nothing more than the support.
Stephen Villarreal my dad died when I was 10 and even though i got that long w him, that's nothing in the grand scheme. whole life I wanted to be a good dad. doesn't matter though if the chick leaves. any state sides with the mom. it is what it is
I'm 16 weeks, the father doesn't want to be involved - sent me a big paragraph about it. I'm scared for my baby honestly, I'm dreading the day they ask where he is and why he isn't here
OopsyOlive you’ll get through this mama!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😊
Here because Felix listened to it in his live🙋🏻♀️💃🏻
Thank you Felix

2024🎉 still listening to this The world is a scary unloving place so just be kind and supportive. Find yourself and a little peace of happiness and enjoy it.
Wrap your fingers around my thumb? Reminds me of Ed Sheeran's small bump
thats what I thought
:)
+Ryan Edison de Vera **POINTS TO COMMENT** It reminds me of Small Bump as well, and I love it.
I KNOW ME TOO
I CRIED
First thing I thought when I listened the chorus 🙊
Any other Washingtonians feeling so proud of Ben?
Hell yeah!
👍
I remember when he first put his old music on MySpace and I was so stoked to find out Macklemore was a local rapper. It's so heartwarming to see that he made it without compromising his values.
Heck yea man
Great song
And Ed Sheeran being father 5 years later 💗
I'm here. Because SKZ's Felix likes this song. Now, I like too.❤️
sheep.
learn to think for yourself.
@@shawnpitman876 nice
AAJHAHAHAHHA
Cringe

Yak. None of your business.
All my life it's always been about me and my life, I busted my ass to make a good life for myself. I'm 25 now and in April I'm becoming a father to a beautiful baby girl. Now everything I do is about her and making sure that she has everything she needs and more. Thank you Macklemore for this wonderful song, god bless.
Ricky lopez good luck!
All the best brother
Ricky lopez i appreciate the comment. Good luck
I'm sure you're a good father good luck
Ricky lopez congrats brotha
As a dad this song makes me feel so many things. Ben you are a fucking legend.
Macklemore is a G. His musik is the truth. No fake bs, just heart and soul
My greatest achievement in life is my two girls. I've messed up pretty much everything else in life but although times have been tough over the years being a dad was something I could never fail at. To Lilo and Rey... my 2 beautiful girls... listen... hear... and FEEL. I hope one day the universe brings you here and you find this message. xxx
Thank you Macklemore. Thank you for giving me advice my parents never could. I will remember this song until my last day and if I ever have kids, I'll play it to myself in the hospital after my child is born and I'll cry because growing up and being a dad is not something we can all do...
Anyone can be a father, but not everyone can be a Dad :)
Mugiwara98 Well said my friend, well said...
+Mugiwara98 clever

This might be the most underrated Macklemore song ever. I love this so much.
16th March 2023 it is ❤
I honestly wish I had a dad who was there for me, half my life was just neglect and abuse and depression, toxic household and high rent for a 2 bedroom apt, this song made me cry, I never wanna be my dad
One of the only artists today with meaningful lyric's! So much love and admiration for these guys!
Exactly!
Tianna there are A LOT of artists with meaningful lyrics but they are not popular because they dont sell as much as a catchy and stupid song
matias santibanez so true! If you guys like good lyrics, then check out Nico & Vinz's album "Black Star Elephant"
I will look into all of them! I am just so sick of all the songs solely centered around drugs and sex. And I did say ONE OF I realize there are other artists who have meaningful lyrics however it seems as though the overwhelming majority don't (especially on the radio). Thanks for all the suggestions of new music! I love listening/finding new artists and if they aren't well known all the better! :)
Kendrick, jcole, big krit
,joeybada$$ and phora and many more rappers who have meaning wtf you talking about
