Composition and lyrics
"Mockingbird" is a song by Eminem dedicated to his daughters, Hailie Jade and Alaina Marie (also known as Lainie), who were 9 and 11 years old at the time of the song's release. The song serves as an expression of remorse and a pledge from Eminem to his daughters, acknowledging the difficulties they faced due to his fame and their family circumstances.
The song begins with Eminem encouraging his daughters to "straighten up" and "stiffen up that upper lip", as he attempts to comfort them and provide an explanation for their circumstances. He acknowledges their feelings of missing their mother, Kimberly Scott, his ex-wife, and himself during periods when he was away on tour or focused on his music career.
Eminem reflects on his efforts to provide a better life for his daughters than he had, while also recognizing that this has exposed them to negative media attention and public scrutiny. He recounts several challenging experiences they endured, including: break-ins, drug addictions, and custody disputes.{{Citation |title=Eminem – Mockingbird |url=https://genius.com/Eminem-mockingbird-lyrics |access-date=2024-07-31}}
Throughout "Mockingbird", Eminem repeatedly reassures his daughters, urging them not to cry and emphasizing his love and commitment to them. He expresses hope that one day they will look back and view these hardships as a distant memory.
The song runs for 4 mins and 11 secs. The song is written in the key of E minor, with a tempo of 84 beats per minute, the song follows a chord progression sequence of Em-C-D-Em.
The chorus of the song is based on a traditional lullaby called "Hush, Little Baby".
Critical response
"Mockingbird" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Entertainment Weekly{{'}}s David Browne wrote: "Again he addresses a song to his daughter ('Mockingbird') and explains how he's working hard at being a good father."{{cite magazine |last=Browne |first=David |url=http://ew.com/article/2004/11/19/encore/ |title=Encore |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |issue=793 |date=2004-11-19 |page=80 |access-date=2017-06-03}} J-23 of HipHopDX praised the song: "Things get a bit better at the end, 'Mockingbird' is another song for Hailie that is most notable for flawless delivery."{{cite magazine|author=J-23 |url=http://hiphopdx.com/reviews/id.486/title.eminem-encore# |title=Eminem - Encore |magazine=HipHopDX |date=2004-11-15 |access-date=2017-06-03}} Steve Jones of USA Today was positive: "The affectionate Mockingbird talks directly to his 9-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade, and 8-year-old niece, Alaina, trying to explain Kim's troubles with the law and his constant travel."{{cite news |last=Jones |first=Steve |url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/music/reviews/2004-11-11-eminem_x.htm |title=Eminem's edgy 'Encore' deserves an ovation |newspaper=USA Today |date=November 11, 2004 |access-date=April 25, 2015}} James Corne of RapReviews was also satisfied, saying, "Predictably, Eminem lays down one for Hailie with "Mockingbird," but what is not foreseeable is that it actually works."{{cite web |last=Corne |first=James |url=http://www.rapreviews.com/archive/2004_11_encore.html |title=Eminem :: Encore :: Shady/Aftermath/Interscope |publisher=RapReviews |date=2004-11-09 |access-date=2017-06-03}} The New York Times was mixed: "the I-love-my-daughter ode 'Mockingbird'" isn't the most exciting thing according to Kelefa Sanneh.{{cite news|last=Sanneh|first=Kelefa|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/15/arts/music/all-the-time-in-the-world-slim-shady-thats-scary.html|title=All the Time in the World, Slim Shady?

The A.V. Club was a bit positive: "On 'Mockingbird,' Eminem lets his hatred of his ex-wife lie dormant just long enough to provide his daughter with a haunting account of how parents sometimes just can't make it work, no matter how much both parties want to."{{cite news |last=Rabin |first=Nathan |url=http://www.avclub.com/review/eminem-emencoreem-11183 |title=Encore |newspaper=The A.V. Club |date=2004-11-22 |access-date=2017-06-03}} Los Angeles Times also agreed: "In the tender 'Mockingbird,' the Detroit-based rapper outlines his devotion to his daughter, Hailie. Against a restrained, almost hypnotic musical backdrop, Eminem tries to help the child make sense of a world in which her father is always on the run because of his career, and her mother, Kim, makes headlines with legal troubles, including a drug arrest last year. Normally, much of Eminem's lure as a rapper is in the speed and authority of his rapid-fire delivery, but he raps here with the gentleness of a man with his arms around his daughter: 'I know it's confusing to you/ Daddy's always on the move/ Mama's always on the news.'"{{cite news |last=Hilburn |first=Robert |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-nov-08-et-eminem8-story.html |title=With 'Encore', Eminem melts |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |date=2004-11-08 |access-date=2017-06-03}} The Austin Chronicle is a bit negative, saying that in the song "he still hates his ... ex-wife as much as he loves his daughter. Yawn."{{cite news|last=Gray |first=Christopher |url=http://www.austinchronicle.com/music/2004-11-26/239473/ |title=Eminem: Encore |newspaper=The Austin Chronicle |date=2004-11-26 |access-date=2017-06-03}} The Boston Phoenix called it "the address-to-his-daughter" song that is "more consistently remarkable than 'Mosh{{' "}}.{{cite news |last=Soults |first=Franklin |url=http://www.bostonphoenix.com/boston/music/otr/documents/04281637.asp |title=Eminem: Encore |newspaper=The Boston Phoenix |date=November 26, 2004 |access-date=June 3, 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151009165900/http://www.bostonphoenix.com/boston/music/otr/documents/04281637.asp |archive-date=October 9, 2015 }}
