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.

Jeremih Feat. J. Cole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ridin' with the top off
Man my whip so big when you in it
Fuck around and get lost
Told my bitch let her hair down
What this shit cost
Tell me baby if you about that life right now
Hope it ain't talk, no
I can put you in the Mile High Club, what's up?
Let's take a trip
Have you ever read "The World Is Yours"
On a blimp
Tell her be free, baby spread your wings
Got your legs in the sky like a plane
Let me guide that, I'm the pilot
Can't nobody see you, 30 thousand feet
On your knees in them Prada's
Make the freaky shit come up out her
Get high baby roll one
cloud nine, 'bout to go up
Lovin' the feelin' of turbulence get when we turn up
Maybe later we can roll out
show you something you don't know about
Tonight we be takin' off flight with a camera to show about
I got you in the air
your body in the air
How it feel up here?
You can scream as loud as you want
and loud as you can
And ain't nobody gonna hear it
Would you like it better
If we hit the west coast?
Tell me, if you 'bout that life right now
hope it ain't talk
I can put you in the Mile High Club
what's up?
Let's take a trip
Have you ever read "The World Is Yours"
On a blimp
Tell her be free, baby spread your wings
Got your legs in the sky like a plane
Let me guide that, I'm the pilot
Can't nobody see you, 30 thousand feet
On your knees in them Prada's
Make the freaky shit come up out her
Get high baby roll one
cloud nine, 'bout to go up
Lovin' the feelin' of turbulence get when we turn up
Maybe later we can roll out
show you something you don't know about
Tonight we be takin' off flight with a camera to show about
I got that golden ticket
we should just go and kick it
This the factory
Listen to Kels order daiquiris
With your bitches, gettin' drunk as fuck
See a bitch I fucked then get mad at me
Listen to Kels then get back with me
'Cause I could fix broken bridges
she could never burn 'em
Yeezy taught her well, he ain't ever gonna learn her
You would be a liar if you said I didn't want her
But candy is so delicious
this shit sweet
I be hitting other bitches like this shit weak
This the worst pussy I had all week
But you got that golden ticket
Fuck the airfare we should have a affair
Life's real unfair to the ones scared
Life really ain't a game when it's one player
That's scary huh, very huh
like it when I beat the pussy up like Jerry vs Tom
With a bat like Barry Bonds
She said she had too much baggage to carry on
You make me optimistic
We should just go and kick it
You got that golden ticket
We got some golden tickets, igh!
I can put you in the Mile High Club, what's up?
Let's take a trip
Have you ever read "The World Is Yours"
On a blimp
Jeremih ft J Cole's song Planes is a sexually suggestive song that compares a woman’s body to an airplane. Jeremih sings about riding through the city with the top off of his car and getting lost in the spacious car. He tells his girl to let her hair down and asks if she's really about the life they're leading. This creates a sense of adventure before the chorus starts. In the chorus, Jeremih compares the woman's legs to the wings of a plane, while he takes on the role of the pilot. He is in control of the journey, and it's up to the woman to enjoy the ride. They are 30 thousand feet up in the air, making love in the sky. He asks if she’s ever read the famous novel “The World is Yours,” and they should do this on a blimp, which adds to the sense of adventure.
In the second verse, J Cole takes over and starts rapping about his experiences with women. He talks about how he can fix things between him and the women he's been with, but he doesn't want to. J Cole talks about how he has a golden ticket, which suggests he has a monopoly on women. He’s not interested in just one but enjoys the taste of different flavors of women. Nevertheless, the gold ticket implies that he knows how to treat a woman right. The chorus comes back with a more extensive call and response section accompanied by the energetic beat that gives the song a sense of epicness.

Catch me rollin' through the city
I'm driving around town
Ridin' with the top off
My car has no roof
Man my whip so big when you in it
Fuck around and get lost
My car is so huge, you might get lost inside
Told my bitch let her hair down
What this shit cost
Tell me baby if you about that life right now
Hope it ain't talk, no
I told my girl to let loose and relax. I hope she's not just talking about living life to the fullest

On a blimp
I can get us into a club for people who have had sex in the air. Let's go on a trip and read a book while on a blimp
Tell her be free, baby spread your wings
Got your legs in the sky like a plane
Let me guide that, I'm the pilot
Can't nobody see you, 30 thousand feet
On your knees in them Prada's
Make the freaky shit come up out her
I want my girl to let go and explore, with me as her guide. We'll be high up and no one will be able to see us. She'll even have Prada shoes on and I'll bring out her freaky side
Get high baby roll one
cloud nine, 'bout to go up
Lovin' the feelin' of turbulence get when we turn up
Maybe later we can roll out
show you something you don't know about
Tonight we be takin' off flight with a camera to show about
We'll get high and experience a thrilling rush from the turbulence. Later on, I'll show her something new and we'll even document it on camera
I got you in the air
your body in the air
How it feel up here?
You can scream as loud as you want
and loud as you can
And ain't nobody gonna hear it
I'll have her high up in the air and she can let out all her feelings without anyone hearing it
Would you like it better
If we hit the west coast?
Tell me, if you 'bout that life right now
hope it ain't talk
Do you want to visit the west coast instead? And are you really serious about living life to the fullest or are you just talking?

That's scary huh, very huh
like it when I beat the pussy up like Jerry vs Tom

She said she had too much baggage to carry on
I have access to all the pleasures of life and we should enjoy them together. I have a history with other women, but I can fix things. Yeezy taught me well, but he can't change a woman's true nature. I'm attracted to her, but I've had better. She may have too much baggage for me to handle, but we should still have an affair. Life is tough and scary for those who are afraid. I like rough sex and I'm like Jerry fighting Tom, or like Barry Bonds with a bat. She complains about her baggage
You make me optimistic
We should just go and kick it
You got that golden ticket
We got some golden tickets, igh!
You make me hopeful and we should spend time together. You have unlimited access to pleasure and we have opportunities to take advantage of
