Jay-Z releases song about new baby daughter

Jay-Z has released a song on his website dedicated to her new baby daughter Blue Ivy Carter, just days after her birth.

The song, titled Glory, is a personal and emotional song about the birth of his daughter with global superstar, Beyoncé.

It reveals that the couple suffered heart ache prior to the pregnancy when Beyoncé miscarried; a fact which until now the famously private couple had kept a secret.

The lyrics say:

Ba-bey Blues
Beyoncé gives birth
to a baby daughter

"Last time the miscarriage was so tragic. We was afraid you’d disappear. But nah baby you magic."

The song also states that Blue was born naturally, not by caesarean section as was first reported.

The lyrics, written and performed by the rapper, share intimate details of the preganancy, including where the child was conceived.

It's clear that the pair are doting on their new arrival, with Jay calling his daughter "the most beautifulest thing in this world".

At the end of the song, baby Blue can also be heard crying.

Glory can be listened to on Jay-Z's social website, Life and Times,
