Eminem has unveiled a gripping new video for “Somebody Save Me,” featuring #JellyRoll , from his latest album “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)”. The video poignantly reflects the song’s emotional depth, portraying Eminem’s remorse as a father, torn between his music career and struggles with addiction.
In the clip, he’s seen watching old family footage of his children through a glass screen, reciting the heartfelt lyrics with intense emotion. The visuals intensify as he witnesses his younger self succumbing to a drug overdose and later, his children burying him, underscoring the raw vulnerability of the track. Jelly Roll’s cameo adds to the emotional gravity with his powerful chorus, making “Somebody Save Me” a standout moment on the album.
“The Death of Slim Shady” also features the poignant track “Temporary,” dedicated to Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade. With Skylar Grey on the hook and childhood recordings of Hailie’s voice, the song serves as a touching farewell from father to daughter, intended for Hailie to hear after Eminem’s passing.
The lyrics convey a father’s deep love and concern, with Eminem’s voice even breaking as he urges Hailie to care for her siblings and uncle. “Temporary” is a testament to Eminem’s enduring connection with his family, making it one of the most personal and heart-wrenching songs of his career.
The album has already made waves, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200, with previous single “Houdini” climbing to number two on the Hot 100.
