Heaven (Jay Z song)
"Heaven" is a song recorded by American rapper Jay-Z from his twelfth studio album ''Magna Carta Holy Grail'' (2013) featuring American recording artist Justin Timberlake. The song was written by Jay-Z, The-Dream, members of R.E.M., Adrian Younge, Timbaland, and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon while the production was handled by the latter two. During the song, Jay-Z touches on subjects of religious allegory and an interrogation of organized religion. The song has since peaked at number 10 on the ''Billboard'' Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles.
== Background ==
On "Heaven", Jay-Z questions the meaning of religion and once again shoots down rumors that he is part of the secret organization Illuminati. He explained the song in a promotional video for Samsung saying, "No matter what religion you are, accept the other people's idea. Because, have you ever been to heaven? This song is toying with the idea of it being on Heaven or Hell on earth. My idea of being on Heaven is in your daughter’s laughter. Hell could be if your child missing’s for three minutes; you in three minutes of Hell." The song indulges in religious allegory, and is one of the few songs on ''Magna Carta Holy Grail'' that touch upon existential and spiritual themes. Throughout the song he ponders faith, superstition and free thinking.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/05/arts/music/jay-z-frets-on-magna-carta-holy-grail.html?_r=2&〕
The songs features Jay-Z rapping a lyric of rock band, R.E.M.'s 1991 single "Losing My Religion".〔 Following the album's release, former frontman of R.E.M. Michael Stipe told NME that he's "thrilled" and it was a "great honor", that Jay-Z included the lyrics in one of his songs.
