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 ↴
Live but you showin' me the under clause
Maybe you twitter like your intuitor
Intuitor, intuitor (toast to)
Late nights with a much of chicks
They ain't gonna think I'll need another sip
Shorty knew it's nothing cuz you pull it up
You pull it up, you pull it up (toast to)
In this here, fresh gear, just another love
This right here is an open toast to overlord and overdose
Late nights late nights
Late nights late nights
Late nights
Say you got the shit to make him wanna do
Tell me baby, how you have fondue
This isn't how you plan to do real good night
Imma do what you did, sensationalize
And our life when the sky's dark blue
Took the fame by the bubble, over one time soon
Said why don't you grab the twitter, tell the shit we wanna do
Cuz I'm the bad extert where the dreams come true
Will you come and ride with me? fly chief
If I were the nigga startin' stratchin' up on it
Take you down town shoppin', case of her lv, g fly with her
I just wanna, I just wanna stick her pussy, pop it so drama
Hair so smart, booty so dumb
Oh shit, think to the one, think through the night, sing to the night (toast to)
Late night, just another show
Live but you showin' me the under clause
Maybe you twitter like your intuitor
Intuitor, intuitor (toast to)
Late nights with a much of chicks
They ain't gonna think I'll need another sip
Shorty knew it's nothing cuz you pull it up
You pull it up, you pull it up (toast to)
Late nights, spin a couple alts
In this here, fresh gear, just another love
This right here is an open toast to overlord and overdose
Late nights late nights
Late nights late nights
Late nights
I said I'm hood and fresh as el lemar
I look up in the mirror like 'what's up dog?'
Think tonight is gonna be (a good night)
Tell the front desk I'm gonna need a (wake-up call)
Down and pressurize like (wait wait)
You know a nigga startin' to get (what up dog?)
People always askin' me why i(skate skate)
I tell them shot town, my town (what up dog?)
Man, I'm takin' them down like eleven below
You hear them now like you've never before
They're runnin' the town, give me the clown
Cuz either the world or the piff in the blow
Rock with your girls when you go to the mall
Rubbin' the pearls when you go to my show
In and out, just one way to go
If already know then you already (toast to the nights)
Late night, just another show
Live but you showin' me the under clause
Maybe you twitter like your intuitor
Intuitor, intuitor (toast to)
Late nights with a much of chicks
They ain't gonna think I'll need another sip
Shorty knew it's nothing cuz you pull it up

You can hear them more clearly now than ever before
They're runnin' the town, give me the clown
Someone else is running the town, and he feels like a clown
Cuz either the world or the piff in the blow
He doesn't know if it's the world or if it's the drugs making him feel this way
Rock with your girls when you go to the mall
Hang out with your girls when you go to the mall
Rubbin' the pearls when you go to my show
She's admiring her pearls when she goes to his show
In and out, just one way to go
There is only one way in and out
If already know then you already (toast to the nights)
If you already know what's going to happen then celebrate the night
