We often place musicians on peddle stools and forget that they too are just real people and often parents. These same people write songs about the people closest to them. Here are a few songs that were inspired by your favourite musician's child.

'Isn't She Lovely' by Stevie Wonder

This catchy song has the tear-jerker quality and when Stevie revealed that the song was actually about his daughter, Aisha, it takes the meaning of these words to a whole new level. The song starts with baby Aisha crying. Later, she can be heard playing in the bathtub as Stevie says, "Come on - get out of the water."

'Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)' by John Lennon

When you know that background to this song, it's quite heartbreaking. John Lennon felt particularly guilty about not spending time with his son and took time off for them to bond. A month after this song was released, he was killed. With that being said, the line "I can hardly wait to see you come of age", is especially sad.

'My Baby' by Britney Spears

After a really rough patch in her life and career, the mom everybody loves to hate pulled herself together and wrote this song for her kids. It just goes to show that even when people are seemingly 'bad parents', very few are.

'Acapella' by Kelis

Some may belt this song out as a love song and it was written as exactly that. What few people know is that Kelis wrote this as a love song to her son, Knight. What better way to say 'I love you' than with a great beat and heartfelt lyrics?

'Billie Jean' by Michael Jackson

One of Michael's most famous songs of all time has always been shrouded in mystery concerning what inspired the toe-tapping tune. And it seems it will always remain that way. There have been rumours that the song was inspired by a crazed fan who claimed that Jackson had fathered one of her twins. Michael, however, claimed that the song was about groupies he had encountered. I guess we'll never know.
