9 – Sir Elton John

John is a devoted father of two, and the joy of parenthood was clear from the moment he first experienced it. Back in 2012, just a month after welcoming his son Zachary with partner David Furnish through surrogacy, John described the experience as life-changing.

"It just meant a lot to both of us, I think, about what it said," he noted. For McGraw, the track was a reminder of the importance of respect and genuine communication — values he wanted to instill in his daughters in a world where, as he put it, face-to-face connection often gets lost.
