"Just Us" is a song by American rapper Jack Harlow featuring fellow American rapper and singer Doja Cat. It was released as a single through Generation Now and Atlantic Records on March 21,2025. The two artists wrote the song with producers Tay Keith,Ojivolta duo members Mark Williams and Raul Cubina,Angel López,Hollywood Cole and Dylan Graham. It contains a sample of "Note to the City (Interlude)" by Boslen featuring Rascalz.
In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1,Jack Harlow said he had wanted to collaborate with Doja Cat for four or five years. Prior to creating the song,he had never met Tay Keith in person,although Keith sent him many beats. When Harlow was in Nashville with Angel López and Hollywood Cole,he invited Tay Keith. The producers made the beat in front of him as Harlow wrote the lyrics. Harlow stated that when he sent the song to Doja Cat,"She immediately loved it and knocked it out,so I think it's just timing,about catching people at the right time,making them feel,you know,inspired and I think you could tell by her verse and how long it is and how many lines there are like,how many flow switches there are,like she really wanted to put her foot into it,so."[1]
Content
The song finds the rappers wishing to spend time alone together. On the chorus,Jack Harlow raps "I wish it was just us in this bitch / But they can't trust us in this bitch". Doja Cat performs the second verse,in which she details an ideal sexual encounter with sexually suggestive lyrics.[2][3]
Critical reception
Elias Andrews of HotNewHipHop wrote "The instrumental is chilled out yet catchy,tapping into the musical direction of both Harlow and Doja on their last albums. Despite this,both rappers provide accessibility through their verses. Harlow adopts his usual conversational flow. A few clunky lines are littered throughout,sure,but that's become part of Jack Harlow's brand at this point. Doja is more nimble on 'Just Us,' and she continues to lean on the sharper,rhyme-driven side of her sound. 'Just Us' feels like a song designed to move the needle,and given how much star power is deployed here,we'd have a hard time believing it won't do just that. Jack Harlow and Doja Cat reportedly have albums coming,and this is going to set both of them up nicely."[4]
