• "Lovin On Me" finds Jack Harlow having a little playful and suggestive fun with various S&M references. He won't be tied down, but he's happy to let the lady whip her lovin' all over him.
  
  Harlow has made it clear he likes to play the field, so he's not going to be tied down to one girl, or in the bedroom. As for the whip, that's what Babyface would call "Whip Appeal," a way of communicating sensually without words.
• Detroit producer Sean Momberger (YK Osiris' "Worth It," Chris Brown's "Tempo") and Swiss beatmaker Ozan "Oz" Yildirim ("Toosie Slide," "Life Is Good," "Sicko Mode," "Highest In The Room") produced the track. German producer Nik D, who is part of Oz's team and Harlow's recording and engineer Nickie Jon Paboìn also get credits.
• Sean Momberger did the original production. He took the hook from R&B singer Cadillac Dale's 1995 song "Whatever (Bass Soliloquy)" and added some beats with the help of co-producer Oz.
  
  "I'm a huge sampler. I always love starting ideas with old tracks," he told Billboard. "I was trying to break the mold of using super well-known samples and dive into older R&B and '90s songs."
  
  Momberger had originally envisioned this as an R&B track for a singer like Chris Brown, whom he had collaborated with before. But the beat took a different direction when Oz added his hip-hop flair to it.
• Harlow first teased "Lovin on Me" on social media in October 2023. After the snippet went viral on TikTok, fans begged the rapper to release the full song. He obliged, dropping it through Generation Now and Atlantic on November 10, 2023.
• This song gave Jack Harlow his first #1 on the UK Official Singles Chart. The Louisville rapper had previously claimed three Top Five hits; "Industry Baby" with Lil Nas X (#5), "First Class" (#2) and "3D" with Jung Kook (#5).
• "Lovin On Me" climbed to #1 on the Hot 100 dated December 2, 2023. It became Harlow's third leader on the chart, following "Industry Baby," with Lil Nas X (2021) and "First Class" (2022).
  
  "First Class" and "Lovin on Me" share a common recipe: a rhythmic sample takes the spotlight in the production, Harlow drops some flex-singing on the hook, and then he loads up his verses with steamy innuendos.
