On the introspective album closer “Arose”, Eminem details how he nearly died in 2007 due to an overdose on pills. He catalogues his thought process in what could have been his dying moments: his mind floats to his daughters, brother, and mother, and all their wonderful milestones that he would have missed had that been his final day on Earth. He also sees his late friend and close collaborator, Proof, in hallucinations.

At the end of the song, the beat switches back to “Castle”, continuing the theme of ‘rewinding the tape’, and Em gives thanks for the second chance that the nurses gave him. He also recaps on his discography since the incident, reminding listeners that this happened ten years ago and he’s released several albums since.

This song samples “The Rose”, a song recorded by Bette Midler for the 1979 film of the same title. Written by Amanda McBroom, this track is about taking chances in the face of adversity and insecurities.
