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.

Jeremih Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Double cup, need a two liter
I'm about to hit twice, yeah
I'ma call that a two-peater
Roll two blunts, two reefers
All I need is about two beepers
Hit me up when you need that
I got that service at the alley
She threw it back, I lost my balance
I work it up, got that work
Mr. Late Nights call me Fallon
Light skin but taste chocolate
Oh you got that Fannie Mae
I just wanna roll, roll up
All I know is 'bout the Lambo that goes (vroom vroom)
With the doors up
Had to speak a different language, I
Said "Bitch shut up" , what I told her
When she saw the ocean view
Man I swear she lost all her Controlla
Two-piece in a two-seater
Double cup, need a two liter
I'm about to hit twice, yeah
I'ma call that a two-peater
Roll two blunts, two reefers
All I need is about two beepers
Hit me up when you need that
Yeah, look
All I know is commas, commas
I can fit the burner in my palm-a
Twistin the, twistin the Dalai Lama
(Sheesh)
My bitch wicked, wicked, wicked
Ass and titties cost a ticket
She said she gott that finger lickin'
(Ha, yuh)
I'm talkin' greasy, Church's Chicken
Get her out the Vicky, she a victim
Put that good D all up in her system
I love when she make it wobble
I love when her head go bobble
I feel like I won the lotto
Two-piece in a two-seater
Double cup, need a two liter
I'm about to hit twice, yeah
I'ma call that a two-peater
Roll two blunts, two reefers
All I need is about two beepers
Hit me up when you need that
I'm 'bout 30, 'bout to lead now
I'm about it if you with that
I got that serve it out the alley
She threw it back, I lost my balance
I work it up, got that work
Mr. Late Nights call me Fallon
Light skin but taste chocolate
Oh you got that Fannie Mae
The lyrics to Jeremih's song "Hamburg" depict a scene of indulgence, desire, and the pursuit of pleasure. The opening lines "Two-piece in a two-seater, Double cup, need a two-liter" suggest a luxurious lifestyle, where the singer enjoys the finer things in life. He boasts about his ability to please his partner, comparing it to hitting a home run twice ("I'm about to hit twice, yeah, I'ma call that a two-peater"). The use of drug references like "roll two blunts, two reefers" and "two beepers" implies a recreational and carefree mindset.
The song also explores themes of sexual desire and attraction. The lyrics reference physical attributes, such as "She said she got that finger lickin'" and "Ass and titties cost a ticket," portraying a sense of objectification. The singer takes pleasure in the flashy lifestyle and enjoys the attention he receives from women.
However, amidst the braggadocious and hedonistic lyrics, there are hints of vulnerability and the consequences of this extravagant lifestyle. Lines like "I work it up, got that work, Mr. Late Nights call me Fallon" suggest a more personal struggle, perhaps with addiction or the pressures of maintaining his success. The reference to losing balance can be seen as a metaphor for losing control in his life.
Overall, "Hamburg" presents a picture of a character living in a world of excess, seeking pleasure and validation, yet also hinting at the potential pitfalls and emptiness that can come with such a lifestyle.
