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.
I Think Of You
Jeremih Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gave you one dose and got you addicted
I could own that, all night and all day
Say you on my plate, girl, you so delicious
Last night we had a good time gettin' faded
Wake up in the morn', you was gone
It been on my brain all day replayin'
Like we had it on record
I take plenty chances
My love for you has been a damn dimension
More than you imagine
I want all of them kisses
Mistletoe before Christmas
If you ain't got it, don't get it
If you got time, it's no limit
Baby, won't you give me something?
That I wanna do
When I see the sun set
Yeah, I think of you
I think of you
You're all I want too
Left panties by my nightstand
Now I think of you
I think of you
Loving my baby, can you give me the sweet talk?
Love's up and down, it's like living on a see-saw
Give me a favor, baby, why you blaming me for?
All I wanted was love, babe
Last night we had a real good time, we was naked
Bumping and making love
Got me with all these games you're playing
It's time for us to go
Don't care 'bout winning
Come on, baby, I got the answers
You ain't gotta be a dancer
All I need is your love
Girl, you won't change my mind
And I can see you hesitating
So, baby
Baby, won't you give me something?
That I wanna do
When I see the sun set (Oh girl)
Yeah, yeah I think of you (Baby)
I think of you
You're all I want too
Left panties by my nightstand
Now I think of you
I think of you
I wish everyday was your day off
Goin' hard every night like it's the playoffs
You give me the energy, I like to play hard
Tell me is the feelin' mutual or am I way off?
Be real, be real, stay real
Pour your heart out, baby, I won't let it spill
I know the ones before me probably said they never will
And breakin' promises will break you down 'bout how you feel
Is that an illusion, I'm not tryna add to the confusion
Break your all access codes and abuse 'em
You layin' all over me 'cause you understand me
Swear I love you so much, I love your whole family
Bedroom dresser, full of your panties
We make the room feel like summer Miami
No stressin' whenever you leave
'Cause ain't nobody in the world fuck you better than me
I think of you

I gave the best that you ever had
I put in my all to please you
Gave you one dose and got you addicted
With just a bit of attention, you became obsessed with me
I could own that, all night and all day
I have complete control over you
Say you on my plate, girl, you so delicious
You're sexy and irresistible
Last night we had a good time gettin' faded
We drank and had fun until we got drunk
Wake up in the morn', you was gone
You left without saying goodbye
It been on my brain all day replayin'
I can't stop thinking about what happened
Like we had it on record
It's as if the memories are permanently stored in my mind
I miss every minute
I long for every moment we spent together
I take plenty chances
I'm willing to take risks for love
My love for you has been a damn dimension
My love is immeasurable
More than you imagine
It's beyond your comprehension
I want all of them kisses
I crave your affection
Mistletoe before Christmas
I want to kiss you during the holiday season
If you ain't got it, don't get it
If you don't have love to give, don't bother pretending
If you got time, it's no limit
We can spend all the time in the world together
Baby, won't you give me something?
I want you to give me your love
That I wanna do
I want us to do things together that we both enjoy
When I see the sun set
When I look at the beauty of nature, I think of you
Yeah, I think of you
You're constantly on my mind
You're all I want too
You're the only thing I desire
Left panties by my nightstand
You left a part of yourself with me
Loving my baby, can you give me the sweet talk?
Show me affection with your words
Love's up and down, it's like living on a see-saw
Love has its highs and lows, like a playground
Give me a favor, baby, why you blaming me for?
Stop blaming me for the problems in our relationship
All I wanted was love, babe
I just want to be loved by you
Last night we had a real good time, we was naked
We had passionate, intimate moments together
Bumping and making love
We were physically and emotionally connected
Got me with all these games you're playing
I'm confused by your mixed signals and emotional games
It's time for us to go
We need to leave this negative situation behind us
Don't care 'bout winning
It's not about who is right or wrong
Come on, baby, I got the answers
I can help fix our problems
You ain't gotta be a dancer
You don't have to put on a performance or be someone you're not
All I need is your love
I just want your sincere affection
Girl, you won't change my mind
My feelings for you are strong and won't waiver
And I can see you hesitating
I can sense your uncertainty and fear
So, baby
Please trust me and believe in our love
I wish everyday was your day off
I want to spend every single day with you
Goin' hard every night like it's the playoffs
I want to give my all in our relationship
You give me the energy, I like to play hard
You inspire and motivate me to give my best
Tell me is the feelin' mutual or am I way off?
Do you feel the same way about me or am I mistaken?
Be real, be real, stay real
Be honest and authentic with me
Pour your heart out, baby, I won't let it spill
Share your deepest feelings with me, I won't tell anyone
I know the ones before me probably said they never will
I understand if you've been hurt in the past, but I won't hurt you
And breakin' promises will break you down 'bout how you feel
Not keeping promises can have negative emotional effects on you
Is that an illusion, I'm not tryna add to the confusion
I don't want to cause more confusion or misunderstandings
Break your all access codes and abuse 'em
I won't invade your privacy or use your vulnerabilities against you
You layin' all over me 'cause you understand me
You're physically close to me because you get me emotionally
Swear I love you so much, I love your whole family
My love for you extends to your loved ones as well
Bedroom dresser, full of your panties
Your presence is felt throughout my home and in my personal space
We make the room feel like summer Miami
Our love brings warmth and brightness to any room
No stressin' whenever you leave
I don't worry or stress when we're apart
'Cause ain't nobody in the world fuck you better than me
I'm confident that I'm the best you've ever had physically and emotionally
