The song "Magazine" by Jack Harlow talks about his journey to success in the music industry. He boasts about his talent and hits, and doesn't tolerate people asking for handouts or favors just because of their friendship. Harlow references Ben Simmons, a basketball player who had immense potential but has faced criticism for not fulfilling it yet, comparing it to his own potential as an artist. He describes himself as quick-witted in all areas, including sex, but admits that he may not last long in bed without a condom. Harlow acknowledges that fame can come at a cost, and he may lose some friends along the way. He doesn't want to hear about the drama or actions of others, as he is determined to make it on his own. He feels that he should have been famous already, but he won't waste time shooting the breeze with people who won't help him reach his goals. The chorus of the song references Harlow's desire to be on the cover of a magazine and achieve mainstream success, while the verses highlight his confidence and determination to make it happen on his own terms.
