We just wanted to put out good music, directly to the people that have been here since the beginning. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are a hip-hop duo from Seattle, Washington, comprised of rapper Macklemore and producer Ryan Lewis which formed in 2008. We didn’t want to do a big campaign or anything over the top with this. It’s where I’ve been the last year, through all the ups and downs. This is why “Growing up” felt like the right song to re-emerge with. When you try to escape yourself, life has an interesting way of creating situations that force you to come back. The other half is trying to figure out how to grow up myself. When I got back to the cabin the next day, Ryan had made a new beat that would eventually become the song you’re listening to.

But I think back to that night: praying on the floor at 2am as Tricia went to the bathroom to take the pregnancy test I'd just purchased from Walgreens. They say boys dont cry / But your daddy shed a lot of tears / They say I. It would make for a far more polished and respectable story. Below is rest of the passage Haggerty wrote about the song and becoming a parent: I wish that I could say that I was in a "better place" when I found out the news.
