It hasn't even been a week since Beyoncé gave birth to Blue Ivy, and thanks to famous pop Jay-Z, the newborn is already the youngest person evert to appear on a Billboard chart.
The proud father put together "Glory" a lovely lullaby that gives his 6-day-old daughter credit, "featuring B.I.C." in which he raps about his little bundle of joy:
"Baby I paint the sky blue, my greatest creation was you."
The end of the song even features baby Blue crying in the background. Few celebrity tots–including Stevie Wonder's daughter Aisha–can say they've performed with their megastar parents from a young age.
However, Jay-Z wasn't the first celeb-dad, let alone parent, to pen a few lyrics for the apple of his eye. From Beatles' John Lennon to Hip-hop, R&B megastar, Usher, to Material Girl Madonna, plenty of celebs have produced songs for their children.
Does "Glory" take the cake for baby ballads?
Billy Joel, "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)"
Billy Joel wrote the heartfelt ballad for daughter Alexa Ray when she was seven after she asked him the big question, "Daddy what happens when you die?"
"Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)" was Joel's answer, and a fine one at that. We couldn't have come up with one better.
"And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep,
The water's dark and deep
Inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me."
Sheryl Crow, "Lullaby for Wyatt"
To celebrate Sheryl Crow's adoption of first son Wyatt in 2007 and she wrote this love song lullaby for her tot the following year. Funny enough, Crow admitted son Wyatt enjoyed listening to the noiser "Shine Over Babylon" to put him to sleep.
"Whenever he would get a little fussy, we would just put on "Shine Over Babylon" and he'd go straight down," Crow told USA Today. "He wanted to hear something loud and boisterous."
Harry Chapin, "Dancing Boy"
Almost everyone knows Harry Chapin's 1974 US single, "Cats in the Cradle," about a negligent father; however, have you heard the song about the boy behind the hit?
Four years later, Chapin wrote this song about his song Josh who used to dance while he performed in the studio.
The "Dancing Boy" lyrics tell a different tale than the hit we've come to know.
"Yes, I'm so proud when you are with me,
That my heart digs in my throat.
And when you stop to strut your stuff,
My eyes go all afloat."
