Jay-Z released the Pharell Williams-produced track, called Glory feat. B.I.C. on his website on Monday morning following Blues birth late Saturday night. Like Stevie Wonders Isnt She Lovely, the song features some of the babys earliest burbles as a backing track.
Listeners can hear Jay-Zs awe in every verse of his ode to baby joy. Little Blue is everything I prayed for, daddys little girl, and a child of destiny. And boy, is he going to give this kid everything: hard not to spoil you rotten, lookin like a little me, he lilts, then describes his vision of Blue at two years old, shopping on Savile Row.
The track discloses some deeply personal details about the normally publicity-shy couples life, including that Beyonce miscarried an earlier pregnancy. Jay-Z also sings about the circumstances of Blues conception: You dont yet know what swag is, but you was made in Paris and Mama woke up the next day and shot her album package.
Parenthood by Jay-Z and Beyonce was always going to be different. Mainly, however, its clear that Jay-Z is feeling the same senses of delight and wonder at his newborns appearance as would any first-time parent.
The most amazing feeling I feel, words cant describe what Im feeling for real. Baby Ill paint the sky blue. My greatest creation was you.
All together now: aaaw...
