Produced by Hollywood Cole and mixed by Nickie Jon Pabon, the song sees the Kentucky artist rap: “I ain’t lookin for no hip hop credibility / Give a fuck who feelin me, I’m feelin me,” over a simple and minimalistic beat, addressing his current place within the industry. Harlow also takes a moment to say: “Lost a few m’s on the festival / Okay, and I can’t wait to do the second one,” reflecting on the money he lost after cancelling day two of his inaugural Gazebo Festival in Louisville due to “hazardous” weather.

He also calls out the hate he has received, rapping: “My prime’s in full swing like a Callaway / I need a dime every dollar New Balance makes / Ain’t ’bout to let the world takе my smile away,” and takes a moment to admit that “The hate got to me, but I had to act straight.” 

The song’s accompanying video sees the ‘Lovin On Me’ hitmaker strolling through a cold NYC winter day dressed in a long black coat and black hat while rapping the song.

‘Tranquility’ follows his previous release ‘Hello Miss Johnson’ which marked his return after a short hiatus. According to a press release, “Jack is working on a new project right now. More on this to follow.” His last full-length release was 2023’s ‘Jackman’.

Elsewhere, Harlow recently performed covers of hits by Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra alongside the Louisville Orchestra last month.

Late last year, he scored his first UK Number One with his hit ‘Lovin On Me’. The track, which samples 1995 R&B cut ‘Whatever’ by Cadillac Dale, became the most-streamed track in the UK with over 5.1 million streams.
