Dua Lipa

Background Harlow stated in an interview with The Breakfast Club that he reached out to Dua Lipa via FaceTime to get her permission to release the song, which he played for her, and that he would not have released it if she did not approve. According to Harlow, "But she was like, 'Oh, it's not my song. I suppose it's okay.' She was just kinda thrown off and she just kinda let it go." He added that his conversations with her have been "less awkward" ever since. The song was also previewed days before it was released on May 6, 2022 as a track from Come Home the Kids Miss You. Composition In the song, Jack Harlow raps over a trap beat about his desire to form a relationship with Dua Lipa. In addition, he compares his rise to fame to that of Ariana Grande (also referencing her song "Thank U, Next"), and mentions growing his pectoral muscles (with an acknowledgment to his personal trainer) and collaboration with Kanye West.
