“Tyler Herro” by Jack Harlow
Song year: 2020
Jack Harlow named this song after Tyler Herro, who plays shooting guard for the NBA team Miami Heat. The inspiration stems from Herro being a friend of Harlow’s. The two share several similarities, as the basketballer experienced an equally sudden rise to the top.
Despite the name, Jack Harlow focuses on calling out his haters and rivals, talking about how he is self-built and did not listen to anyone that told him he wouldn't make it. Still, Harlow does pay tribute to Herro and even reveals to the listener that he has a core group of new friends. Ironically, Harlow filmed the video in the home of Lou Williams, a player for the Atlanta Hawks.
“Nail Tech” by Jack Harlow
Song year: 2022
“Nail Tech” was released as part of his hit album, Come Home The Kids Miss You. The song features Jack Harlow's go-to laid-back flow to a beat made by 2forwOyNE.
As with many of his tracks, the lyrics center on Harlow’s newfound successes. The title is derived from the song’s first line, which suggests he may have a relationship with his nail tech that’s much more than professional.
His lyrics are somewhat bittersweet, as he notes how many people pretend to be his friend. Perhaps reflecting that, Harlow’s lyrics stress that he prioritizes family and friends over showing off on Instagram.

Song year: 2021
With “Industry Baby,” Harlow went viral on Tiktok and Instagram and finally got nominated for a Grammy award. Apart from the song's lyrical flow, the chemistry between Harlow and Lil Nas X has created a beautiful friendship.

“Already Best Friends” by Jack Harlow, Featuring Chris Brown
Song year: 2021
Jack Harlow duos with Chris Brown to rap about an encounter with two female friends that quickly turns romantic. The song acts like a conversation, moving through its various stages as Harlow makes moves on both of them.

“Churchill Downs” by Jack Harlow, Featuring Drake
Song year: 2022
Named after the iconic racecourse, “Churchill Downs” was released on the album Come Home the Kids Miss You.

He reminds listeners that his hard work and sacrifice have led to sold-out shows and collaborations with big-name stars.
Drake’s contribution to the song reveals his abandonment issues, claiming he's seeking therapy, and also references a feud with Pusha T. Appropriately given the name, Harlow recorded the accompanying music video at the 2022 Kentucky Derby.
“SUVs” by Jack Harlow and Pooh Shiesty
Song year: 2021
Harlow collaborated with Pooh Shiesty for this grimier take on the rapper’s typically swaggering style. As with several of his records, Harlow draws attention to the doubts many had about his prospects in the music industry. He reminds listeners that his boasts always turn true and that he’s racking up money. In the process, he lists several examples of his wealth, from eating filet mignon to living in a penthouse.
While the collaboration was unexpected, the two rappers blend their distinct styles in a production that features 808s and percussion. The track was certified gold and charted at number 67 on the Billboard 100.
