Song meaning of Denver by Jack Harlow

Ah, the soul-searching anthem of young Jack Harlow, or as I like to call him, Jack "Soulless" Harlow. In "Denver," Jack takes us on a journey into the deep, existential abyss that is his fame and success. He starts off by flexing his Rolex as he walks past the homeless, proving that when it comes to being disconnected from reality, he's a pro. It seems like fame has made him feel all alone and soulless, but don't worry, Jason is there to save the day with his sage advice of saying yes. But Jack refuses to do "no press" because, you know, he's sooooo over seeing himself on that "lil' screen" and feeling insecure about every little thing. Clearly, he's under insane pressure to live up to everyone's expectations, so he isolates himself and claims it's all on him, not realizing that a little therapy wouldn't hurt. In the second verse, Jack takes us back to the origins of the song, written in the lofty city of Denver (oh, how poetic!). He's feeling like himself again, with the help of Angel, his personal savior. But deep down, he wonders if all those writers and exes who know "a lot" about him are onto something. He's come a long way from Shelby County, experiencing some local tensions and even talk of a "healthy" bounty, whatever that means. Jack is sober and focused now, avoiding deli alleys like the plague. He loves his fellas and shouts it proudly, but, hey, his mama needs help adjusting and his father needs help counting, so he's got a lot on his plate. As he looks out heaven's window, he can't help but think there's hell around him. Life's tough, isn't it, Jack? Well, at least you have your Rolex. So, here's to you, Jack "Existential Crisis" Harlow. May you find your soul again in the depths of Denver. Cheers! 🍻
