Hardin's compositions include "Struttin' With Some Barbecue", "Don't Jive Me", "Two Deuces", "Knee Drops", "Doin' the Suzie-Q", "Just For a Thrill", "Clip Joint", and "Bad Boy", her composition "Oriental Swing" was sampled heavily to create Parov Stelar's 2012 retro-song "Booty Swing," which in turn gained notoriety when it was used in a 2013 Chevrolet commercial.
