Castle by Eminem
Featured on the 2017 “Revival” album, “Castle” was co-written by Eminem, Skylar Grey, and Erik Alcock. The song is essentially a series of letters from Eminem to his daughter Hailie, charting her life from before her birth to her teenage years. It offers an intimate look at his love and concerns as a father, and his hopes for her future.
Fun Fact: As mentioned earlier, “Castle” pairs uniquely with another song on the album, “Arose”, and together they narrate Eminem’s struggles and his bond with his daughters.
Through “Castle”, listeners get a poignant glimpse into Eminem’s personal life, and the challenges and joys of parenthood in the midst of fame and personal struggles.
