Jack Harlow, TOO SOON → Song Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jack Harlow, featuring R&B legend Babyface, shines on the short but sweet “TOO SOON” from his EP, Sweet Action II.

“Is it too soon (Too soon) / Too soon for me to fuck somebody new?” Oh, my! Holy fuck, Jack Harlow! Actually, that expression should be directed toward Babyface (Kenneth Edmonds), who sings those sensual lyrics.  Later, Babyface ‘cleans it up’ a little: “Is it too soon? (Too soon) / Too soon for me to love somebody new?” A collaboration that we didn’t know we needed, “TOO SOON” is brief but absolutely too good to ignore.  It is the second track from Harlow’s 2026 EP, Sweet Action II.  Babyface, Alexander Izquierdo, Chloe Angelides, Daniel Hackett, Jeffrey Gitelman, Jordan Johnson, Jose Velazquez, Julius-Alexander Brown, and Stefan Johnson (woo) are credited as songwriters.  Gitelman, Angel “BabeTruth” Lopez, Kid Culture, and The Monsters & Strangerz produced it.

So, what makes “TOO SOON” the sugar, honey, and iced tea? The smooth R&B vibes go a long way.  Babyface steals the show on the hook. He never sounds like he breaks a sweat as he sings.  Even his ad-libs are cool as a cucumber. Jack Harlow, the lead artist, deserves plenty of credit.  He’s ‘smooth like butter’ as he raps. HE sounds easy-going but has a compelling cadence and flow. “Wonderin’ if you gettin’ laid and if it’s really great / Is it somеone that I know or affiliate with?” he asks in the first verse, and continues, “Is it someonе that I really hate, bitch? / Am I someone that you willin’ to humiliate? / I don’t wanna feel this way.” Word. Matters of his heart, rather, his ex, continue to flood Jack in the second verse: “But I can’t help that my chest deflates (Ha) / When you tell me it ain’t just his face / When you tell me that you like his traits / That right there, I just can’t take (Ooh).” Short but sweet, Jack Harlow, with help from Babyface, has a hit on his hands with “TOO SOON.” Both artists deliver solid performances, and the marvelous chorus and soulful production make this a surefire winner.
