The heartbreaking full video for Eminem's brand new single - which heavily features footage and snaps of his daughter Hailie - has finally been released.
And - doing what he does best when discussing his relationship with his eldest daughter - the rap star has once again left fans in tears.
Whilst his latest track 'Temporary' isn't the first time that the musician - real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III - has released a song centring on his experience as a father, it might just be his most honest.

Mathers was barely out of his teenage years when he became a father for the first time, having been forced to raise his daughter - whom he shares with long-term ex, Kimberly Anne "Kim" Scott - in an impoverished area of Missouri.
The 'Slim Shady' star released the track earlier this year, with many of his fans heartbroken to hear actual Hailie, now 28, featuring on the track herself.
It is believed that the song is a love letter from the 51-year-old to his former little girl, written as though he has passed away.
Whilst the intro includes lines spoken and sung by Hailie herself, the rapper can later be heard telling listeners: "Yeah, so Hailie Jade, I wrote you this song / To help you cope with life now that I'm gone / How should I start? Just wanna say /
Look after Eleana, Stevie and Uncle Nate."
Eminem continues: "And, sweetie, be strong; I know I was your rock, and I still am / Saying goodbye is just not ever easy / Why you crying? Just stop Hailie, baby, dry your eyes, this is not forever."
Yesterday (2 October), the rapper released a cropped teaser of the full video, which features several images of the father-daughter duo together, many which don't appear to have yet been released to the public.
And today, the full version has been uploaded to Eminem's official YouTube channel, sending fans into a tidal wave of emotion.
"I swear to god this man is determined to make his fandom weep for months," one penned in the comments below.
"Hailey is honestly Eminem's greatest asset, all the emotions are in this song, and it's amazing. Eminem Hailey Forever," another continued.
A third went on: "In the first few seconds of the song I'm already crying"
"This is why he is who he is. He makes you feel the music. Pulls it out of you if need be," another added.
