We recently shared our cover story with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, who have been hard at work on the follow-up to their 2012 album, The Heist. Today, we get the first taste of what's to come from their much-anticipated project with "Growing Up," a touching record dedicated to Macklemore's daughter, Sloane Ava Simone Haggerty, who was born in May.
Macklemore offers up important life lessons throughout the song, which ultimately ends with his daughter finding true happiness. Couple that with Ed Sheeran's vocals on the hook, and you might just shed real tears listening to this heartfelt track.
Check out "Growing Up," and read Macklemore's personal message to his fans below. You can download "Growing Up" here.
