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 ↴
I'll apologize later
Say sorry later
Blame it on the drank, baby
Blame it on the drank, baby
Blame it on the drank, drank, drank
Said if you leave with me tonight
I won't judge you, no, no
Blame it on the drank, baby
Blame it on the drank, baby
You know who you dealing with
You know who you down (work)
Put ya money down put ya (head)
In the headboard
Let's go to war baby
First time I couldn't ignore it baby
How you come and shut the place down?
A pretty face, you throw up with your face down
I couldn't help but think 'bout how you taste
I couldn't help but think of how you kiss
You lookin', glisten all up on my neck
Could make me know enough just one time
Come out and [?] love me one time
Just screamin', "Daddy, daddy" one time
You keep your body bangin' like a 9
You know that any minute, girl it's mine
Pardon my behavior
I'll apologize later
Say sorry later
Blame it on the drank, baby
Blame it on the drank, baby
Blame it on the drank, drank, drank
Said if you leave with me tonight
I won't judge you, no, no
Blame it on the drank, baby
Blame it on the drank, baby
Blame it on the drank, baby
I don't know, no, I don't know you now
But all I know, know is I'm gon' love you down
DJ Khaled say, "J just hold 'em down"
Way you wind and roll them hips I hold you down
Can't help that pussy tastes like green apple Crown
Got me so drunk, you need some thumpin' 'round
To beast up on you, left side
Legs up, talkin' peaced up
Girl your body's amazing
If you ain't hear that from your own mind
You'd probably trip if you heard me
Have your ass screamin' out, "Jeremih"
Girl go 'head, light up the Marley
Do not know how you got topless
We should take trips to the tropics
This drank and that ass a problem
Pardon my behavior
I'll apologize later
Say sorry later
Blame it on the drank, baby
Blame it on the drank, baby
Blame it on the drank, drank, drank
Said if you leave with me tonight
I won't judge you, no, no
Blame it on the drank, baby
Blame it on the drank, baby
Blame it on the drank, baby
The lyrics to Jeremih's song "Drank" tell the story of a night of partying where the singer is blaming his behavior on the alcohol, hence the repeated lyric "blame it on the drank." The song is also about seduction, with Jeremih talking about a woman's body and how he'll love her down, and how they should take trips to the tropics together. Throughout the song, Jeremih is encouraging the woman to leave with him and promising not to judge her.
The chorus starts off with "Pardon my behavior, I'll apologize later, say sorry later." This can be interpreted to mean that Jeremih is aware that he might make mistakes or do something wrong, but he's not worried about it in the moment because it's all about having fun and enjoying the night. He knows he can always apologize later when he's sober.
The second verse talks about the woman's body and how he couldn't help but think about how she tastes and kisses. He also mentions how she shut the place down with her pretty face and how she keeps her body banging like a 9. This verse is all about attraction and how he wants to be with her, despite the fact that he doesn't know her well.
Overall, the song is a catchy and fun party anthem that encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions and enjoy the night. It's a perfect song for a night out with friends, dancing and drinking without worrying about the consequences.

You will yell my name out with pleasure
Girl go 'head, light up the Marley
Girl, go ahead and smoke marijuana
Do not know how you got topless

We should take trips to the tropics
We should go on vacations to tropical destinations
This drank and that ass a problem
Drinking and enjoying your body is causing me a problem
