For quite some time now, Eminem has not been shy to dedicate several verses of his rap songs to his seemingly volatile relationship with his mom Debbie Mathers. However, it seems that the 41-year-old rapper has started to overcome some of his anger so often directed at his mom, and he showed a desire to correct some of his wrongdoings on Mother's Day.

It came as a big surprise to his fans when he joined hands with director Spike Lee and musician Nate Reuss to apologize in a touching, earnest "Headlights" music video that was released Sunday.

This is, however, not the first time that Eminem (whose real name is Marshall Mathers) featured his mom in his music. Nevertheless, the latest video presents a new twist, going in the opposite direction of some of his other mom-dedicated lyrics, by issuing an apology to her.

In the video, Eminem quickly goes through a list of the supposed wrongs his mother did to him as well as his brother Nathan, and refers to alcoholism and a sickness that "wasn't fixable or changeable."

He, however, continues, "But, Ma, I forgive you, so does Nathan, yo/ All you did, all you said, you did your best to raise us both."

The video, shot in a Detroit neighborhood, where Eminem spent his childhood, includes verses from his mother's perspective and features lines like "Ma, you're still beautiful to me because you're my mom," and "I love you, Debbie Mathers."

While Eminem does not abstain from making references to his miserable childhood or his capricious relationship with Debbie Mathers, the song is a distinctly different from his earlier tracks like "Cleanin Out My Closet," where Eminem became known for criticizing his mother harshly.

In "Headlights," Eminem apologizes to his mother for referring to her past in a negative light.

The video ends with a rendering of the rapper and his mother reconnecting after years of hostility.

"Headlights" also features Fun singer Nate Ruess and is the latest video from Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," which was launched in November.
