from Weston, Florida who has had a meteoric rise in the music industry. In January of 2011 the
multi-talented musician who taught himself to play the drums and guitar at a young age, put out
a few homemade music videos on YouTube which immediately created a buzz and attracted the
attention of music business insiders who began to guide Jake on his journey.
Ever since Jake Miller began posting his original songs on YouTube a few years ago, the 21-year-old Miami-born pop artist has been building a virtual army of fans. His millions of social media community followers call themselves the Millertary and come to his concerts wearing camouflage and greasepaint under their eyes. They are devoted to Miller’s irresistible musical blend of pop and hip-hop, combined with the positive messages in his songs.
Miller has independently released two EP’s: 2012’s Spotlight and 2013’s The Road Less Traveled, which debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes Hip-Hop chart. His full-length album, 2013’s Us Against Them, sold over 33,000 copies and peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Rap chart. One of MTV’s 2014 “Ones to Watch” artists, Miller has shared stages with Mac Miller, Flo Rida, Sean Kingston, Asher Roth, Jason Derulo, Cody Simpson, Austin Mahone, and Sammy Adams at various radio festivals, including Y-100’s Jingle Ball and the Calle Ocho Festival in Miami, where he performed for a crowd of more than 200,000 screaming fans. He also sold out a 43-city House of Blues Tour before a major record deal, driven primarily by his incredible social-networking presence.
Now Miller is set to extend his reach even further, having signed to Warner Bros. Records, and will release his new single “First Flight Home” on July 5th. Produced by Danish songwriter-producer Cutfather (The Wanted), the track is an irresistible calling card for Miller, who credits Eminem, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and Drake as inspirations. Hailing from the South Florida community of Weston, Miller began rapping when he was 17, but began to take it more seriously a year later when his YouTube videos caught the attention of local news and radio stations. This led to his first-ever live performance — a plum slot opening for Snoop Dogg in 2011.
Having built the Millertary on his own, Miller is looking forward to seeing what he can achieve with the support of Warner Bros. Records behind him. “It’s obviously a dream come true,” he says. “The night that I signed my record deal we released a video with my family and friends in it, popping champagne and celebrating, it was the greatest night of my life.”
Collide
Jake Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel so alive
My heart ignites
When our eyes Collide
Oh ooh-oh yeah
Collide
Oh ooh-oh yeah
Yeah
Don't hold back, crash into me
We catching fire like a third degree
Need someone to hold, sick of being alone
So I'm round at third and I'm coming home,
'Cause I need your touch and I need it now,
We can go to lunch and then mess around,
So baby you can win it, you can come and get it
We can build an empire in a New York minute,
Me and you stopping time
All of the stars align
This is what it feels like (like like)
When we Collide
When we Collide
When we Collide
I'm falling out of the sky
I feel so alive
My heart ignites
When our eyes Collide
Oh ooh-oh yeah
Collide
Oh ooh-oh yeah
Collide
I'm gone, hungover
I'm love drunk and not sober
Yeah it's do or die, baby you and I
We should get just a little bit closer
So baby come and hop up on my range, swerve
Is that because I kick em in the side, curb
Your love ran down like a meteor shower
That's crashing down our earth, wow
Me and you stopping time
All of the stars align
This is what it feels like (like, like)
When we Collide
When we Collide
When we Collide
Me and you stopping time
All of the stars align
This is what it feels like
Me and you stopping time
All of the stars align
This is what it feels like (like, like)
When we Collide
When we Collide
When we Collide
When we Collide
When we Collide
In the opening lines of Jake Miller's song Collide, he exclaims that he feels as if he is "falling out of the sky" and that he feels "alive" while his "heart ignites" when he locks eyes with the girl he desires. This imagery is often used to express the feeling of being overwhelmed and falling in love. The chorus of the song, which repeats the word "Collide," is likely used to emphasize the intensity of the moment, as if everything in the world is coming together all at once.
The following lines see Miller inviting the girl to "crash into" him, promising that together they will be "catching fire like a third degree." He admits to feeling lonely and needing someone to hold, so he is eager to take things further with this girl. The metaphor of "round[ing] at third and com[ing] home" implies that he is getting closer to achieving his goal with her.
In the final verse, Miller is already gone and "love drunk" and "not sober." He wants the girl to come closer and hop onto his "range." They should get a little closer and enjoy each other's company. The concluding chorus repeats the prior verses' imagery, suggesting that everything in the world reaches a perfect moment when lovers collide.
