Jack Harlow said, “screw your Valentine’s Day.”
Jack Harlow has been on an unstoppable rise over the past few years, solidifying himself as one of the biggest names in hip-hop. His success is undeniable, with seven songs surpassing 500 million streams on Spotify and “INDUSTRY BABY” featuring Lil Nas X eclipsing a staggering two billion streams. Beyond music, he’s expanded his reach into Hollywood, starring in a major film, and has collaborated with industry heavyweights like Drake, Justin Timberlake, and Lil Wayne.
Despite his mainstream success, Harlow is moving like an artist with something to prove. Recently, he’s been experimenting by releasing music on YouTube and social media platforms before dropping it on streaming platforms—an old-school approach that signals a return to his roots. His latest single, “Set You Free,” is a prime example of this strategy, and it’s already turning heads.
“Set You Free” isn’t just another breakup song—it’s a raw, reflective track that showcases Harlow’s introspection and signature wit. In the song, he tells his girlfriend that he’s ready to move on, hoping to rediscover himself by indulging in late nights, drinking, and hanging out with his crew. The production blends a knocking beat with a hint of melancholy, striking a perfect balance between confidence and vulnerability.
One of the standout elements of the track is Harlow’s delivery. His numb, robotic-like cadence adds a unique emotional layer, making the song feel both detached and deeply personal. It’s a clever stylistic choice that enhances the theme of emotional distance in the lyrics.
