Originally released by Eminem in 2004 as a raw, vulnerable letter to his daughters, the track found a massive second life when Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Enisa Nikaj (known mononymously as Enisa) delivered her own soulful rendition.

Enisa initially recorded her cover of "Mockingbird" in 2018. However, the internet gave it a massive second wave of virality across social media years later.
