Where's my snare? "Cleanin' Out My Closet" was also used in the initial theatrical trailer to Eminem's film 8 Mile, released in November 2002. The song did not reach number one on any foreign charts, but was certified Platinum in Australia. It became the second Top 10 single from the album, reaching number four on the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart, and one of the highest-charting singles of his career. In the chorus, Eminem sarcastically apologizes to his mother for hurting her and making her cry, but takes it back by showing the world what his mother, according to him, was like. It depicts Eminem venting his anger towards his mother, Debbie Mathers, for the way she raised him. Unlike the preceding single which was as his humorous Slim Shady persona, "Cleanin' Out My Closet" was a serious song inspired by the events of Eminem's childhood and relationships. "Cleanin' Out My Closet" was the second single released off the album following "Without Me". "Cleanin' Out My Closet" is a song by American rapper Eminem from his album The Eminem Show (2002).
