John Travolta also took to Instagram to celebrate his daughter's new song and called it a "special day."
"This song and video is an homage to her mother, and it also happens to be my wedding anniversary with Kelly," he said. "It is one of the songs on her upcoming album that I helped produce -- please enjoy!"
