With guidance from his cousin Willie Taylor, of Day26 fame, as well as producer Mick Schultz (who Jeremih met during his time at Columbia College Chicago), Jeremih released his debut single Birthday Sex in March 2009, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. His self-titled debut album was released in June 2009, and debuted at number six on the Billboard 200. His second studio album, All About You, was released in September 2010, featuring guest appearances from Ludacris and 50 Cent.
In December 2011, Jeremih confirmed work on a third album originally entitled Thumpy Johnson, and would later release his first mixtape Late Nights with Jeremih in August 2012. After the release of his collaborative EP No More with producer Shlohmo, Jeremih would change his album title to Late Nights: The Album in August 2014, releasing the EP N.O.M.A [Not on My Album] that same month. With no announcement or promotion prior to the release date, the album was finally released on December 4, 2015, featuring guest appearances from J. Cole, YG, Ty Dolla $ign, Migos, Future, Big Sean, Feather, Juicy J, Twista and Jhené Aiko.
In February 2016, Jeremih confirmed his fourth album title as Later That Night, intending to be another instalment in his Late Nights series. During this year, he released another mixtape entitled Late Nights: Europe and would tour with fellow R&B singer-songwriter PARTYNEXTDOOR, with a project between the two being teased. However, Jeremih was later removed from the tour due to issues between the two artists. By the end of that year though, he would then collaborate with Chance the Rapper for a Christmas project entitled Merry Christmas Lil Mama, which was reissued two more times in 2017 and 2020 with new tracks.
In February 2017, Jeremih released the upcoming album's planned lead single "I Think of You" featuring fellow singer Chris Brown and rapper Big Sean. Three months later, the singer then recorded and released an EP entitled Cinco De MihYo, celebrating the annual Mexican/American tradition. This was followed by another EP in March 2018 entitled The Chocolate Box, as well as his collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign, MihTy in October of that year.
In November 2020, Jeremih was hospitalized in Chicago after testing positive for COVID-19. By November 14, he was reported to be on a ventilator in the intensive care unit. He was taken off the ventilator on November 19 but remained in critical condition. His spokesman said Jeremih has no underlying conditions. Jeremih was transferred out of intensive care on November 21, into a general hospital to make a full recovery. He was released from the hospital on December 4, 2020.

The song All About You by Jeremih is a sensual R&B track that centers around the intimate moments shared between two people. The lyrics explore the idea of exchanging intimate pleasures with a partner that is willing to reciprocate in kind. The opening line 'Chocolate oh Strawberry Cream' stands for the diversity and uniqueness of the couple's bond. The metaphor of 'Body Oils' and 'Candles' depict the dimly lit ambiance of the bedroom that sets up the romantic backdrop to the intimate affair. The chorus line, 'Let's do something new yea, Let me set the mood yea oh, It seems like he just don't know what to do, So tonight, Tonight, It's all about you, You, You, You', symbolizes the idea of venturing into unexplored territories with a partner who is looking for something different.
Additionally, the line 'Can we use the key to open Pandora's Box?' is a reference to the Greek myth of Pandora, who was given a box containing all the evils of the world by the gods. When she opened the box, all the evils were unleashed into the world, leaving hope behind. The line connotes the idea of exploring the uncharted territories of the relationship and leaving behind the conventionalities of the past.
