“Other girls? Fuck them / I’d rather touch myself to you than fuck them.” That’s a lyric there, Jackman, or should I say, Jack Harlow? The Grammy-nominated rapper is back with “Hello Miss Johnson” which begins with a bang… or solo time… The point is, that Jack is falling for (and being charming to) this girl, and he needs to win over her mom, Miss Johnson… or something like that. Aksel arvid, Clay Harlow (Jack’s brother), Angel López, and Don Cannon produced this cool, jazzy rap joint. Besides groove, the keys are ‘key’ to the success of the musical accompaniment, which sounds incredibly ‘neighborly.’ Watch the creative music video for “Hello Miss Johnson” – it complements the song superbly.

Nah, but there’s nothing wrong with Jack fantasizing about this girl (“I think about you all the damn time, for real”). In the second verse, he has big plans, asserting “We could go Monaco, take you out on a boat,” adding, “Let’s go to Nice / And give your sister a niece / I’m tryna make the population increase.” Whoa! Again, the bars are… something.  The chorus is ear-catching, too:

“Hello, Miss Johnson, you know why I’m callin’

You know I’ve been fallin’, fallin’ for your daughter

I think about her often, correct me if I’m wrong, but

Was it you that gave the eyes to her I be lost in? Thought so.”

Jack Harlow has ample rizz.  Does he have the bars? Debatable, but if nothing else, “Hello Miss Johnson” is entertaining – a surefire vibe.
