In honor of Mother’s Day, Eminem shines a light on his relationship with his mother in the heartwarming video for his latest single “Headlights” featuring fun.’s Nate Ruess. Directed by Spike Lee, the cinematic clip was shot on 8 Mile in Em’s hometown of Detroit last month.
“It’s a great, great story. It’s heartfelt, some pain in it, but that’s life,” said Spike, who’s directed iconic videos for Michael Jackson, Prince, and Public Enemy. “So that’s why we’re here, back in the ‘hood, 8 Mile Detroit, shooting where all this took place.”
Em opens up about his tumultuous past with his mother Debbie Mathers on the personal song, which appears on The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
