The last time Kanye West dropped an album, his first single was “New Slaves”—a song that served as an abrasive attack on racism and corporate America. It wasn’t exactly a song you’d want to play for your kids or your parents. But this time, the first single to his upcoming album is “Only One”—a sweet, gentle lullaby written about his daughter North from the perspective of his late mother, Dr. Donda West. In other words, it’s the exact kinda song you’d play for your kids or your parents. So, naturally, Complex had the bright idea of getting a bunch of staffers to watch the music video for “Only One” with their moms. The results are predictably sappy but touching nonetheless.
