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.

Right Now Sound
Montana!
Sitting, my diamonds glisten (bling)
I don't talk, I listen (listen)
I learn new things, fuck the cool thing (skrrt)
Too much drama for my momma (momma!)
Me and Puff poppin' collars, rest in peace to Wallace
Baby, Junior mafia
We the hottest, that's the obvious
French vanilla bottle
Hundred mill a convo
On my neck, the lotto
Global express to Cabo, Ty (skrtt, skrrt, skrtt)
We gon' give you anything, diamond rings
I could bring, tuh
And I put you on the team, that should mean that
I'm fucking you tonight
Ooh, yeah
I'm fucking you tonight
Make decisions, I wanna play with your permission
Gimme that kitty, girl, wash the dishes
Now spread them legs, call it long division
That pussy taste like woah, woah
I hit it like woah-oah-oah-oah (woah)
I kiss it like ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh)
Don't stop, I need more (more)
Every time I pull away
Something keeps on telling me to stay (stay)
I can't keep these memories off my head (head)
So that
He don't give you anything, diamond rings
I could bring, tuh
And I put you on the team, that should mean that
I'm fucking you tonight (bring a friend then another one)
I'm fucking you tonight (night, tonight)
He don't give you everything, diamond rings
I could bring, tuh
If I put you on the team, that should mean that
I'm fucking you tonight (bring a friend then another one)
I'm fucking you tonight (night, tonight)
I might get a room for you tonight
Maybe we can champagne cheers tonight
Make you swallow all of your fears tonight
How you gon' let them hoes tell you what you like
I'm in Nieman Marcus throwing tantrums
You thinkin' you know high fashion
Just to take it off, babe
Let's see you run your mouth when I take it down
Now, now, now
Every time I pull away, yeah yeah
Something keeps on telling me to stay (stay)
I can't keep these memories out my head (head)
So baby
He don't give you anything, diamond rings
I could bring, tuh
And I put you on the team, that should mean that

If I put you on the team, that should mean that
I'm fucking you tonight (bring a friend then another one)
I'm fucking you tonight (night, tonight)
I might end up with you
Kissing, touching, fucking
Bring a friend then another one
Girl your body's calling for me
I'm fucking you tonight (whoa)
I'm fucking you tonight (whoa)
The song "FYT" stands for "F*ck You Tonight," and it is performed by a trio of artists: Jeremih, Ty Dolla $ign, and French Montana. The song is about wanting to have sex with someone you desire and expressing that desire in a not-so-subtle way. In the first verse, French Montana talks about how his diamonds shine, and he listens to others rather than talking too much. He values learning new things rather than just following the crowd. He mentions that he doesn't want too much drama in his life and warns others never to put their love in dollars. French Montana then mentions Puff Daddy, a rapper commonly known for wearing expensive clothing and accessories, and Junior Mafia, a hip-hop collective founded by Christopher Wallace, known as The Notorious B.I.G.
In the chorus, Jeremih sings that he and the others are willing to give anything to the woman they desire, such as diamond rings or a spot on their team. The phrase "I'm fucking you tonight" is repeated many times throughout the chorus, making its message clear. In the second verse, Ty Dolla $ign joins in and describes how he wants to play with the woman's permission, prompting her to wash the dishes before spreading her legs. He then describes how the woman's private parts taste and how he enjoys kissing and pleasuring her. He states that he can't keep the memories of their intimate moments out of his head.
Overall, "FYT" is a provocative and sexually explicit song that celebrates the desire for intimacy and pleasure. Its lyrics are straightforward and leave little to the imagination.
