Jack Harlow and Doja Cat teamed up for a track that had the potential to be a chart-smashing, TikTok-dominating summer anthem. Instead, "Just Us" entered the Spotify Global chart at #60 with 2.018 million streams, and let’s just say... the internet did not hold back.
It also debuted at #21 on the US Spotify chart with 880K plays, which is objectively decent, but when two of the biggest names in music join forces, fans expect fireworks, not a single sparkler fizzling out in the corner. Naturally, Twitter (or X, if you insist) turned the debut into meme fuel, with reactions ranging from disappointment to outright savagery.
Jack Harlow & Doja Cat’s "Just Us" Sparks Mixed Reactions Online
When you put two major artists on a track, the expectation is clear: chart domination. But instead of celebrating a major debut, social media turned into a roast session, with fans clowning the song’s underwhelming performance.
The initial post announcing the track's chart position gained traction, not because of excitement but because people were, well, not impressed. Some thought the song was missing something, others felt it was simply forgettable, and then there were those who skipped straight to packing their bags for the "Khia Asylum," aka, the imaginary place where struggling chart entries go to... reflect.
A fan sarcastically quipped:
"Oh two tickets to Khia Asylum ordered & ready to ship…"
Listen, if there was a travel agency booking trips for underperforming songs, "Just Us" might’ve just gotten an express pass.
Another user simply stated:
"FLOP."
No sugarcoating. No extra words. Just pure, unfiltered internet brutality.
Then there were the confused souls trying to make sense of it all.
"What a weird scene."
One person commented, probably staring at the numbers and wondering how a song with this much star power could debut like a last-minute indie drop.
Others were still processing the numbers with mild disappointment.
"Ahh below par debut."
It’s like turning in a test you thought you aced, only to get a C+ and a comment saying, "Nice effort!"
However, not everyone was on the dragging train. A few fans genuinely believed the song deserved more love.
"It’s hitting differently and still not getting the recognition it deserves," one user lamented, standing firm in their defense of the track.
And, of course, the internet's signature brand of randomness made an appearance.
"Just two of us and what."
If you didn’t laugh at that, you’re lying.
Some people just kept it real and summed up their emotions with a classic:
"We don’t care."
Harsh? Yes. But this is the internet, where brutal honesty is practically a sport.
Despite the memes and less-than-thrilling debut, it’s still early days for the track. Songs can climb the charts weeks after release, and a viral TikTok moment could turn things around overnight.
But for now, "Just Us" is stuck in that awkward space where it’s not exactly a flop, but Just Us is definitely not the blockbuster hit fans expected. Whether it finds its footing or continues to be X’s latest punching bag only time will tell.
One thing's for sure, though: the internet will be watching. And roasting.
