Jack Harlow’s “Lovin On Me” is an undeniably catchy pop-rap banger built around a hypnotic sample from Cadillac Dale’s 1995 R&B track “Whatever (Bass Soliloquy),” giving the song a nostalgic yet fresh groove that immediately lodges itself in your head.

Harlow rides the beat with his trademark smooth, conversational flow, leaning into playful confidence and flirtatious wordplay as he paints a picture of carefree attraction and personal freedom.

The song’s hook — anchored by the repeated sampled chant “whip your lovin’ on me, baby” — is infectious and instantly memorable, contributing to its widespread appeal on radio and social platforms alike. Its buoyant energy and easygoing charm helped it resonate across listeners, propelling the single to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and cementing its place as one of Harlow’s biggest hits.  

At the same time, “Lovin On Me” has sparked mixed reactions among fans and critics, illustrating the divide between its commercial success and artistic perception. Some listeners praise its fun, effervescent vibe and catchy production — a clear highlight of Harlow’s knack for turning a strong sample into a mainstream anthem — while others criticize it for lean lyrics and feel that the rapper leans too heavily on the sample’s strength rather than showcasing deeper lyrical craft. Online commentary reflects this split: many enjoy the song’s feel-good energy and club-friendly beat, while others see it as lightweight or surface-level compared to Harlow’s more introspective work. Regardless of these differing opinions, “Lovin On Me” stands as a culturally significant moment in Harlow’s catalog, illustrating his ability to craft tracks that dominate charts and spark conversation alike.
