Blue Ivy, the daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, appears on Jay-Z's 2012 single "Glory."
Jay-Z released "Glory" in January 2012 as a celebration of Blue Ivy's birth. Beyoncé gave birth to their first child, Blue Ivy Carter, on January 7, 2012, and the song appeared online two days later. Its lyrics describe Jay-Z's emotions about becoming a father and also refer to the couple's earlier miscarriage.
Blue Ivy is credited on the track as B.I.C., an abbreviation of her initials. The recording includes her cries near the end and begins with a recording of her heartbeat, making her presence part of the song itself rather than merely the subject of its lyrics.
The song was produced by The Neptunes and premiered on Jay-Z's website. It is sometimes described as a Jay-Z solo song, but its formal credit includes Blue Ivy as a featured artist. Her appearance also made her the youngest person credited on a Billboard chart at the time.
