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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we keep makin' up
I mean, let's just stay together
(Ooh, ayy, oh, ayy, oh)
(Ooh, ayy, oh, ayy)
I know
Together we make this relationship
We give and we take from each other so much that
I feel we don't need no one else (else)
We fuss and we fight then the next day
We tight, this is crazy girl you need some help (help)
Girl, if you
Pull up to my window
I'ma take your order (order)
Anything you want, girl, you know I'll get it for ya (for ya)
Say you wanna be my baby
You know I gotta spoil ya (spoil ya)
For the rest of my life I'm ready to enjoy us
So why the hell we break up (up)
If we only make up (up)
I ain't gon' stunt
Never gotta front, you the only one I want, girl (want, girl)
So why the hell we break up
If we only make up
Ah, we woke with the birds, into soft spoken words
That would lead you right into my arms (arms)
The perfect equation like m x plus b equals y we are probably apart (apart)
No one on this earth is
Like Ms. Butterworth is, someone that I could do anything for (for)
It seems like your pourin' your heart away
But if you
Pull up to my window
I'ma take your order (order)
Anything you want girl you know I'll get it for ya (for ya)
Say you wanna be my baby
You know I gotta spoil ya (spoil ya)
For the rest of my life I'm ready to enjoy us
So why the hell we break up (up)
If we only make up (up)
I ain't gon' stunt, never gotta front, you the only one I want girl (girl)
So why the hell we break up
If we only make up
In the middle of the night I be wondering why
Why you ain't right here
Many days gone by and I ain't gon' lie
I need you right here, my baby
After all, call me crazy, but you're like a drug
Summer kiss daily and we get back in love
Cupid in the sky cause girl you I-I-I love you
And I know sometimes we struggle you are the piece to the puzzle
Come here take a ride
Someone to
Pull up to my window
I'ma take your order (order)
Anything you want girl you know I'll get it for ya (for ya)
Say you wanna be my baby, you know
I gotta spoil ya (spoil ya)
For the rest of my life I'm ready to enjoy us
So why the hell we break up (why, oh why, why)
If we only make up (if we only make up)
I ain't gon' stunt
Never gotta front you the only one I want girl (I ain't gotta stunt)
So why the hell we break up
If we only make up (make up)
The song "Break Up To Make Up" by Jeremih is a classic love song about a couple who keeps breaking up but can’t help reconciling. In the song, the artist is questioning why they keep breaking up when they always end up making up. He suggests that they should stay together and work through their differences instead of going through their ups and downs.
The first verse shows that the couple is aware that their relationship is not easy. They argue, fight, and make up, revealing that their relationship is not ideal, but they still want to stay together. The chorus emphasizes that they only ever make up after breaking up, but the artist is still committed to the relationship and wants to keep going despite the challenges. In the second verse, they wake up together and have a perfect equation, but they are still separate. However, the artist suggests that he is willing to do anything for her.
The bridge is where the artist confesses his love and how much he needs her, like a drug. He acknowledges that they have struggles in their relationship, but she is the missing piece to the puzzle. The final verse reiterates the importance of their relationship as the artist stresses that he will always be ready for her and that they should stop breaking up since they always eventually make up.
Overall, the song is about the struggles of a relationship but how it’s worth working through them to stay together.
