Composition and lyrics

Over a bossa nova-inspired instrumental with minimal percussion composed of snaps and muffled kick drums,[1][2] Jack Harlow addresses his lover and her mother,[2][3][4] delivering a message to the latter in the chorus: "Hello, Miss Johnson, you know why I'm callin' / You know I've been fallin', fallin' for your daughter / I think about her often, correct mе if I'm wrong, but / Was it you that gave the eyеs to her I be lost in? Thought so / Tell her I said hello if you can, and also / That I can't wait to see her again, and also / Tell her call me when she get a chance / 'Cause I got so much to say, and I appreciate you, ma'am".[2][3][5][6]

Music video

The music video was released alongside the single. Directed by the duo Shadrinsky[2][4][7] and filmed via CCTV (i.e. security and doorbell cameras),[1][2][4][5][6][8] it sees Jack Harlow in a cul-de-sac of a suburban neighborhood.[2][4][5][8][7] He walks up to the front door of his love interest's house,[5][8] before flirting with and courting her.[1][5][8] Harlow makes romantic gestures,[1][5][8] and tries to impress his lover and her mother by sending them an overload of gifts and performing a few repairs around the house as a handyman.[6] Meanwhile, havoc is wreaking on the street behind them.[8]
