Today, they released “Growing Up (Sloane’s Song),” their first new song in three years; the tune also serves as a love letter to Macklemore’s newborn daughter. On the Ed Sheeran-assisted track, Macklemore raps with frankness about how he’ll juggle parental responsibilities with his career: “Don’t wanna be a dad that’s living in FaceTime, but I got a world to sing to and you at the same time.” Awww, Dad, stop, you’re embarrassing me! ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3985840/macklemore-ed-sheeran-growing-up-sloane-song/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3985840/macklemore-ed-sheeran-growing-up-sloane-song/"},"headline":"Hear Macklemore's New Song About His Daughter, Featuring Ed Sheeran","datePublished":"2015-08-05T16:23:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T09:55:35.594Z","description":"Mack is back with a brand-new track","url":"https://time.com/3985840/macklemore-ed-sheeran-growing-up-sloane-song/","keywords":["Music","Macklemore"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3985840/macklemore-ed-sheeran-growing-up-sloane-song/","name":"Hear Macklemore's New Song About His Daughter, Featuring Ed Sheeran"}}]}] ```
