The wait is finally over, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have released their highly-anticipated new song, “Growing Up (Sloane’s Song)” and it features pop sensation Ed Sheeran.
“Growing Up” is not the first official single from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ follow-up to The Heist, but rather a “personal moment of expression,” according to a rep for the duo. The track is a reflective ode to Macklemore’s infant daughter, Sloane Ava Simone Haggerty, who was born on May 29.
Fans of “Same Love” will note the similar vibe here, with the Seattle rapper dispensing life advice to his young daughter in the verses and Sheeran sliding in for the chorus.
Sure “Growing Up” is not a party anthem, but it is a beautiful letter from a father to his daughter. Listen to the track, below.
