Yeah, it's definitely more depressing, probably 'cause he was high when he wrote it.

Was he actually high or in rehab? I was always under the impression he was in rehab when writing that...which I'd assume he wouldn't have the access to drugs.

He wasn't sober.

But Beautiful is a different story. That song is the only one out of a whole batch of songs – probably three or four albums' worth of material – that I recorded in the time I was gone. I did all of that when I wasn't sober and that is literally the only song that's on this record. I don't know if any of the others are going to make it to Relapse II, which I plan to release later this year, because I haven't picked out those songs yet.

AB: Is this the best of the bunch? Or is it the only one you're willing to let the world hear?
Eminem: It's the only one I could actually listen to and feel OK about. It brings me back to a time when I was really depressed and down, but at the same time it reminds me of what that space is like and what never to go back to. There is a lot of honesty in that song that I wouldn't want to just throw away. I started writing the first verse and half of the second when I was in rehab going through detox. I didn't have a beat in my head or anything like that… I wrote the verse and just knew I wanted it to be a bounce-style, I guess. I got that first bit out and finished it when I got out of rehab, when I relapsed right back into taking pills. If you listen to that song and how it starts off, I'm just so fucking depressed.

So yeah, part was in rehab, while he was detoxing, and the rest was written while high.
