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.”

Jake Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh
Oh
They say to fight for the things that you love
But there comes a point where you gotta give up
Yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
But you call as often as rain in L.A
Yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
This is my last try to get through to you
The last time I cry over you
I promise this the last text that I'll send
Then you will never hear from me again
This is my last try to get through to you
The last time I cry over you
I promise this the last text that I'll send
Then you will never hear from me again
Tired of letting you make me feel small
The truth is, I don't think I need you at all
Yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, whoa
Yeah, I been so different, not me anymore
But it's time I pick myself up off the floor
Yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
This is my last try to get through to you
The last time I cry over you
I promise this the last text that I'll send
Then you will never hear from me again
This is my last try to get through to you
The last time I cry over you
I promise this the last text that I'll send
Then you will never hear from me again
(Whoa)
(Whoa) ooh-ooh
(Whoa)
(This is the last time)
One more text, one more try
One more chance, one more night (one more night)
One more text, one more try
One more chance, one more
This is my last try to get through to you
The last time I cry over you
I promise this the last text that I'll send
You'll never have to hear from me again
The lyrics of "Last Text" by Jake Miller portray a sense of finality and closure in a romantic relationship. The song starts with a realization that despite being advised to fight for the things we love, there comes a point where we have to give up. The singer expresses their longing to see a message from their loved one, but they rarely receive any communication, just like how rain is scarce in Los Angeles. The repetition of "yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh" adds emphasis to their feelings of frustration and disappointment.
In the chorus, the singer declares that this is their last attempt to reach out and connect with their partner. They assert that they won't shed any more tears over this person and vow that the current text will be the final one they send. The intent is to establish a boundary and cut off all future communication, signifying the end of the relationship.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on how they have allowed their partner to make them feel small for too long. They confess that they no longer believe they need them in their life. This realization prompts them to gather their strength and rise above the emotional turmoil, indicating a newfound determination to move on.
The bridge introduces conflicting emotions, as the singer contemplates sending one more text, giving it one last try, and hoping for one more chance or one more night with the person. However, in the end, they reaffirm their decision to send the last text, promising that their ex-partner will never hear from them again.
Overall, the lyrics of "Last Text" convey a sense of finality, self-empowerment, and the willingness to let go of a toxic relationship.

They say to fight for the things that you love
It is often advised to put effort into preserving the things you hold dear
But there comes a point where you gotta give up
However, there reaches a moment when you need to let go
Wishing my screen would light up with your name
Longing for a notification displaying your name on my phone
But you call as often as rain in L.A
But unfortunately, you rarely reach out, similar to how rain seldom occurs in Los Angeles
This is my last try to get through to you
I am making one final attempt to connect with you
The last time I cry over you
The final instance when I shed tears because of you
I promise this the last text that I'll send
I assure you that this will be the final message I send
Then you will never hear from me again
After this, you will never receive any communication from me
Tired of letting you make me feel small
I am exhausted from allowing you to diminish my self-worth
The truth is, I don't think I need you at all
In reality, I believe that I can thrive without you entirely
Yeah, I been so different, not me anymore
Yes, I have changed so much, becoming someone I no longer recognize
But it's time I pick myself up off the floor
Nevertheless, it is time for me to rise from this state of despair
(Whoa)
(Whoa) ooh-ooh
(Whoa)
(This is the last time)
Expressing the emotional intensity and significance of this moment
One more text, one more try
One more chance, one more night (one more night)
Desiring yet another opportunity to reach out, hoping for another chance to spend time together
This is my last try to get through to you
This serves as my final attempt to establish a connection with you
You'll never have to hear from me again
You will never receive any form of communication from me in the future

I love how Jake Miller makes songs that are so relatable to everyone. I am so happy that he is engaged and is getting married to the love of his life. He was with his ex for a long time and it was a shame when they broke up granted, he grew up and found what he deserved. I love you Jake <3
Gina Tursi
Can’t stop listening … just love this
Dani Tien
Let's admit, his song writing gets better and better even though he doesn't use much metaphor, his choice of words, rearrangement, the beat, the meaning, etc iss sooo good. I can't believe he's so underrated. Love you Jake! 💕💕
