It seems like American rapper Kanye West's daughter has had a profound effect on him. Having released the song "Only One" about North, he previewed a clip from the song's upcoming video where he is seen with her.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, West showed a heartfelt clip from the video of the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday.

The video, directed by Spike Jonze, starts off with Kanye singing the song in a soggy field silhouetted by fog. But it clears up a little and we can see the rapper up close as North makes her appearance. He casually whispers lyrics into his daughter's ear before they walk together back into the field.

Launched exactly at new years, 'Only One' is his first collaboration with Paul McCartney. But he said he did not know yet what he will call his new album.

Talking to Ellen, Kanye talked about how having a family has made him a “better person”.

“I was going through my version of the Terrible Twos,” said Kanye. “My daughter, she wants to express herself but she just doesn’t have the words for it. For me, there’s so many things I want to do with film and clothing and I just didn’t have the words or the resources or the backing or the perception that I could do it being a rapper.”

When asked about having more kids in the interview, Kanye seemed positive and content as he said yes.
