Usher introduced his newborn daughter, Sovereign Bo Raymond, in a heartwarming Instagram post Wednesday.

"Happy 11:11 Sovereign. Today was the day I thought you would arrive. You had a different plan," the "Bad Habits" singer wrote, sharing a photo of himself giving his baby girl a kiss.

"#Babyknowsbest #Godsplan. 'Life happens when you’re making other plans,'" Usher continued. "Is the present a gift or is the present the day? Live every moment. I love what we have, and what [we] made [Jenn Goicoechea] Te amo mucho."

The singer, 42, initially debuted a photo of Sovereign during a virtual appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" earlier in the day. His daughter's due date was Nov. 11, but she was born more than a month early, on Sept. 24.

Usher first announced the birth of his first child with his girlfriend, Jenn Goicoechea, in a September Instagram post that detailed how "blessed and full of love" he was after her arrival of his first daughter. Usher also has two sons with ex-wife Tameka Foster.

The singer told DeGeneres that at the moment he's enjoying this time spent at home with his family until "the top of next year," when he says he will release his new album. "It's coming, it's coming," he promised.

In the meantime, fans can enjoy Usher's singles "Bad Habits" and "I Cry," two of the many songs he may perform at his Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace next summer.
