Tiffany Trump, daughter of Donald Trump, speaks at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland on July 19, 2016. Bill Clark—CQ Roll Call/Sipa by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman Jul 20, 2016 2:52 PM UTC Donald Trump’s 22-year-old daughter [Tiffany Trump](http://time.com/4412814/republican-convention-tiffany-trump-speech/) made her [political debut](http://time.com/4414193/republican-convention-tiffany-trump-speech-transcript-video/) Tuesday at the Republican convention, but she made her most important debut back in 2011 with the pop song, “[Like a Bird](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVpu6MnXBhQ).” Yes, [Trump’s](http://time.com/4414200/republican-convention-donald-trump-jr-speech-transcript-video/) youngest daughter recorded a song, and it wasn’t just the typical teen’s foray into music for fun.

In an [interview with Oprah](http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/meet-tiffany-trump-video) Trump did when she was 17, she said wasn’t sure she wanted to go for a full-fledged music career. “Well, I love music. It’s always been very dear to me and it’s a deep passion… it’s more of a hobby right now, but we’ll see in a couple of years if I actually do want to take it to the next level as a professional,” she said. Two stray observations: Trump’s “Like a Bird” dropped in 2011, 11 years after Nelly Furtado released the mega bird simile hit “I’m Like a Bird,” but who’s to say when we have enough bird songs?
