"Glory" is a song by American rapper Jay-Z featuring his daughter Blue Ivy Carter. Produced by the Neptunes, it premiered on Jay-Z's official website LifeandTimes.com on January 9, 2012, two days after his wife Beyoncé gave birth to the couple's first child Blue. "Glory" debuted on US urban contemporary radio stations on January 17, 2012. The hip-hop song serves as an emotional homage to Jay-Z's then-newborn child and wife. Lyrically, "Glory" is about the experience and happiness of becoming a father for the first time, while also detailing the heartbreak the couple suffered over a previous miscarriage. The song opens with Blue's first heartbeat, and includes a sample of Blue's cries towards the end.
