Jack Harlow Moves On With New Single ‘Set You Free’

Jack Harlow is leaving the past where he found it and moving on with his latest single “Set You Free.” The record arrives alongside a music video that finds the Kentucky rapper exploring New York with a group of friends coaching him through a breakup.

“I’m overly in tune, I’m over stimulated/I’m over me and you/I’m over eating too, I’m drinking again/I’m outside the house, I’m linking with friends,” Harlow admits over skittering production from Angel Lopez, Jenius, and Don Alfonso. “You found me at the end of peak innocence/My love is dried up like ink in this pen/And now that I’m thinking again/I’m not scared to leave you/’Cause I know I need to.”

“Set You Free” marks the third single from Harlow since he made his return with “Miss Johnson” in November after a year-long break between releases. Where that single was cheeky and chaotic, its follow-up “Tranquility” was a necessary introduction to the artist he became during his time off.

“I just left the old me’s funeral/I would turn the camera on and give you more of me like I used to do,” he rapped on the record. “But somethin’ ’bout it don’t seem suitable/Somethin’ ’bout selling myself feels so juvenile.”

Harlow’s most recent studio album Jackman arrived in 2023 as another return to form following the pop-heavy Come Home the Kids Miss You the year prior. Still, he followed it with “Lovin’ on Me,” a slick rap-pop record that captured the same viral attention that launched “First Class” and “What’s Poppin’” into the internet stratosphere.
