The song “First Class” is the second single from Jack Harlow’s album, Come Home the Kids Miss You. It features the song “Glamorous” by Fergie, starting from the very beginning of the song. He decided to include “Glamorous” because Fergie talks about a similar theme of suddenly gaining fame and fortune after her music career started. Harlow later explained that he’s been a fan of Fergie’s since he was a kid, so this was a dream come true for him. “To be able to make a song that women like is what it’s all about for me,” Harlow said in Rolling Stone‘s new cover story. “There’s a lot of things it’s all about, but that’s a huge one. That’s really what you want, to make something that your crush wants to hear.”

He uses the letters of the word “glamorous” to talk about himself. In the first line, he says, “I was a G,” meaning he was a gangster. The second line says, “Throw up an L,” referring to Louisville, where he is from. People who live there will often make an L with their hands to represent their city, but it is most often used to celebrate the Louisville Cardinals. Harlow then goes on to say he has “sex in the AM,” referring to the morning. Finally, Fergie finishes spelling “glamorous.”

Sex with Jack Harlow is First Class


His life has changed significantly since becoming well known around the world, as reflected in the lyrics of the song. He’s a superstar, he sleeps with more girls now, and he is rich. As a matter of fact, he has so much money that he can “put you in first class in the sky.” He says that while he used to be able to go out with no problem, some people have it out for him now. He warns them, “You can’t alpha me.” He plans to keep achieving more success to prove his critics wrong.

How Fame Changes Every Aspect of Life

In spite of the fact that Harlow now has less time to spend with his family, one of the good things about his new life is that he is able to take care of them financially. He even says, “I got visions of my mom saying, ‘Wait, this house mine?’” This is especially important to him since his mom encouraged him to improve his rapping skills when he was twelve, a task that has paid off more than either of them could have imagined. She even played Eminem while she was pregnant with him, which he says was the start of his love of rap music.

Harlow is proud of how far he’s come and how much fame he’s gained, but he hasn’t let it go to his head too much yet. The song doesn’t come off as him simply bragging but as excitement for his journey. He went from playing his music in front of a small number of people to playing huge shows all over the world after “What’s Poppin” came out in 2019. He also uses the song as inspiration, saying, “You could do it too if you believe it.” He wants others to know they can achieve their dreams as well if they believe in themselves and work hard.

The song has had major commercial success and has been performed live on Saturday Night Live as well as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Lyrics

Mm

I been a (G), throw up the (L)
Sex in the (A-M), uh-huh
(O-R-O-U-S, yeah)
And I can put you in (first class, up in the sky)
I can put you in (first class, up in the, up-up in the)
I been a (G), throw up the (L)
Sex in the (A-M), uh-huh
(O-R-O-U-S, yeah)
And I can put you in (first class, up in the sky), mm, mm
I can put you in (first class, up in the, up-up in the)

I can see the whole city from this balcony
Back in 2019, I was outside freely
But now they got it out for me
I don’t care what frat that you was in
You can’t alpha me, keep dreamin’
Pineapple juice, I give her sweet, sweet, sweet (s*men)
I know what they like, so I just keep cheesin’
Hard drive full of heat seekin’
Tryna come the same day as Jack? Rethink it
You don’t need Givenchy, you need Jesus
Why do y’all sleep on me? I need reasons
Uh, I got plaques in the mail, peak season
Shout out to my UPS workers makin’ sure I receive ’em
You can do it too, believe it

I been a (G), throw up the (L)
Sex in the (A-M), uh-huh
(O-R-O-U-S, yeah)
And I can put you in (first class, up in the sky), mm, mm
I can put you in (first class, up in the, up-up in the)

Huh, yes, I am
They say, “You a superstar now, ” damn, I guess I am
You might be the man, well, that’s unless I am
Okay, I’ll confess I am
Go ahead and get undressed, I am
Okay cool, you on Sunset? (I am)
I’m ’bout to slide, okay, I’m outside, okay
This lifestyle don’t got many downsides
‘Cept for the lack of time I get ’round my
Family, makin’ sure they never downsize
I got visions of my mom sayin’, “Wait, this house mine?”
Can’t lie, I’m on Angus Cloud nine
I got ’em on the bandwagon now, ’bout time
I ain’t even got no downtime
Every time I speak, she say, “Yeah, that sounds fine”

I been a (G), throw up the (L)
Sex in the (A-M), uh-huh
(O-R-O-U-S, yeah)
And I can put you in (first class, up in the sky)
I can put you in (first class, up in the, up-up in the)
I been a (G), throw up the (L)
Sex in the (A-M), uh-huh
(O-R-O-U-S, yeah)
And I can put you in (first class, up in the sky), mm, mm
I can put you in (first class)
