This song ends too soon. The music should continue after the final chorus to let it all settle in. Not that the ballad invokes a deep emotional response. Eminem’s off-key singing ruins that chance, but he manages some pleasant-sounding vocal melodies.
The vulgarities he uses for the romantic partner he’s singing to, a “bitch” he dated until she walked out of his life, are off-putting because they seem to contradict the song’s underlying sentiment, but the melodies, however subtle, are strong.
