First Class

"First Class" is a braggadocios track where Jack Harlow boasts about the changes in his lifestyle since he dropped his breakout hit "What's Poppin" in early 2020. Now he can pay for his friends and family to travel first class, treat his lady to the finer things in life, and upsize his mom and dad's property. Harlow also flexes his career achievements when he shouts out UPS workers who deliver his gold and platinum plaques.

Harlow interpolates lyrics from Fergie's 2007 hit "Glamorous" in the chorus. He makes an acronym with the first four letters to describe his lifestyle. I been a (G), throw up the (L), sex in the (A.M.) G: Harlow sees himself as a gangsta L: Harlow's hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, remains important to him. Throwing up an L is a common Louisville gesture. AM: Harlow likes to make love in the morning.

Harlow released "First Class" as the second single from Come Home the Kids Miss You on April 8, 2022. Four days earlier, he posted a snippet of the song on TikTok that helped build a buzz for the song as creators used it to soundtrack videos. Many other artists with young fanbases followed this model, putting out bits of their songs on TikTok before their release.
