Since the huge success of The Heist, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis had big shoes to fill with their new album. This is definitely my favorite song on the album because of how much Macklemore cares about his daughter and wants to teach her valuable lessons while still having a good time. Ed Sheeran’s calming voice is featured in the chorus creating soothing vocals. He sings about creating memories, teaching important life lessons and promising to be the best possible dad. “Growing Up” was written for Macklemore’s new-born daughter, creating a truly meaningful song. It features four other artists, creating an even more lively performance. “Downtown” is by far the most well known song on the album and even reached number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
