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.

Gucci Mane and Jeremih
See you flying too high you a damn lie,
I could stay higher than a super-fly
Stay up like vampire.
Tryna lock on like a?
She oc, she crazy.
Shoot came is amazing,
Breezy would've stayed in,
I don't flew in for the weekend.
Can't remember what we've gambled
But I hold to that shit til the end.
She so cool, she plain' my friends
Matched shoes, crystal Louboutin
She locked, but we sparked out.
Got a little?
Came in everyday like Jet Li
Ten dollar chain like Mr Lee
Real freak? No Mr Reed
On the bend, on the deck she missing me.
This war friend, is history
? Pussy up, no sympathy.
Wild way to the drive way?
But it's hard to drive
Cause she all over me!
They ain't all I used to know,
Nobody got the reason? Or so,
It could satellite sometime she tryna let it go.
Heading for distraction when everybody know.
This is outta control, she's outta control.
She's outta controlling
She, she outta control.
What's your name? Shall know
Where you from? Up?
You're tryna sell your skin tone,
It 101 light. Like the basketball
We can do this 101.
I Got to let you. She killer
She educated?
She won't be me long.
Old boyfriend Jack, she? Baby on us
But, now I'm hoping she call up
She act me, she follow.
Chase my stairs to station?
On my bumble no bass outta control. Outta control.
Bass outta control.
They ain't all I used to know,
Nobody got the reason? Or so,
It could satellite sometime she tryna let it go.
Heading for distraction when everybody know.
This is outta control, she's outta control.
She's outta controlling
(She lost control.)
She, she outta control.
She, she outta control,
She on the Patron,
She tell that she loved me
I said I'd lay your mouth.
I got her on my suit
I said suck my swag.
Call her face time, call her iPad
She'd be running through my mind,
Boarding your decks
I'm the type of fire new crabbing your glass
I'm the type of fire new call it all cast.
But type two I'ma mash
I like girls with them ass up.
They ain't all I used to know,
Nobody got the reason? Or so,
It could satellite sometime she tryna let it go.
Heading for distraction when everybody know.
This is outta control, she's outta control.
She's outta controlling
(She lost control.)
She, she outta control
The lyrics of Jeremih's song Outta Control talks about a woman who has lost control and is out of her mind, and he is not able to resist her charm. The song begins with Jeremih and Gucci Mane claiming that the woman they are seeing is trying too hard to impress them and she is lying to them about her true self. Although the woman seems crazy, she has caught Jeremih's attention, and he is enjoying her company. Jeremih and Gucci Mane describe how the woman's beauty is driving them crazy and making them forget everything else, and although they know that their relationship with her is out of control, they can't resist her.
The lyrics go on to talk about Jeremih's interaction with a woman who seems to be educated and confident. She is well aware of her skin tone and tries to impress Jeremih with her basketball skills. Jeremih is impressed by her intelligence and confidence, but he knows that she is just like the other women he has been with. He cannot escape her charm and is letting her take control over him.
The chorus suggests that everyone knows about this woman's craziness and that she has lost control of herself. However, Jeremih cannot get enough of her and is enjoying every moment with her. The song ends with Jeremih describing his attraction to the woman's physical attributes, and how it makes him go crazy.

Call her face time, call her iPad
We video chat using Facetime or an iPad
She'd be running through my mind,
She'd be on my mind all the time
Boarding your decks
I'm taking over everything you're in charge of
I'm the type of fire new crabbing your glass
