Jay-Z unveils song for daughter Blue Ivy, hints at Beyoncé miscarriage

Jay-Z has released a new song to celebrate the birth of his daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

The rapper, who welcomed his first child with wife Beyoncé on Saturday (January 7), unveiled a new track titled 'Glory' in honour of his newborn baby daughter.

Jay-Z posted the song to his website Life + Times on Monday (January 9). The track features audio from Blue Ivy that was recorded shortly after her birth and tells the story of her conception, suggesting that Beyoncé suffered a miscarriage prior to conceiving Blue Ivy.

"Last time the miscarriage was tragic / We was afraid you'd disappear but nah baby you're magic," sings Jay-Z.

The rapper also speaks about his feelings on meeting his daughter for the first time.

"The most amazing feeling I feel, words can't describe what I'm feeling for real / Baby, I paint the sky blue, my greatest creation was you," he raps.

The baby's cries can be heard at the end of the track.

Beyoncé's sister Solange Knowles tweeted about the birth of Blue Ivy on Sunday (January 8), describing her as "the most beautiful girl in the world".

Beyoncé gave birth at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York on Saturday.
