Jeremih began playing drums at the age of three and is able to play the saxophone, several percussion instruments and piano/keyboards. He attended Morgan Park High School, where he was part of the marching band as well as a Latin jazz band. He also learned to play percussion instruments like congas and timbales. Felton was a good student and earned academic honors at Morgan Park High School. His strong academic performance enabled him to graduate from high school a year early. He enrolled at the University of Illinois and Parkland College in Urbana-Champaign. After spending a semester at the university studying engineering, he wanted to change his education to something related to music. He transferred to Columbia College Chicago in 2007 to pursue a degree in music business. After performing a tribute to Ray Charles at one of the campus's talent shows, he received positive feedback and realized his vocal ability, saying that the "music was just taking over".

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.

Catch me rollin' through the city
Ridin' with the top off
Man my whip so big when you in it
Fuck around and get lost
Told my bitch let her hair down
What this shit cost
Tell me baby if you about that life right now
Hope it ain't talk, no

I can put you in the Mile High Club, what's up?
Let's take a trip
Have you ever read "The World Is Yours"
On a blimp

Tell her be free, baby spread your wings
Got your legs in the sky like a plane
Let me guide that, I'm the pilot
Can't nobody see you, 30 thousand feet
On your knees in them Prada's
Make the freaky shit come up out her

Get high baby roll one
cloud nine, 'bout to go up
Lovin' the feelin' of turbulence get when we turn up
Maybe later we can roll out
show you something you don't know about
Tonight we be takin' off flight with a camera to show about

I got you in the air
your body in the air
How it feel up here?
You can scream as loud as you want
and loud as you can
And ain't nobody gonna hear it

Would you like it better
If we hit the west coast?
Tell me, if you 'bout that life right now
hope it ain't talk

I can put you in the Mile High Club
what's up?
Let's take a trip
Have you ever read "The World Is Yours"
On a blimp

Tell her be free, baby spread your wings
Got your legs in the sky like a plane
Let me guide that, I'm the pilot
Can't nobody see you, 30 thousand feet
On your knees in them Prada's
Make the freaky shit come up out her

Get high baby roll one
cloud nine, 'bout to go up
Lovin' the feelin' of turbulence get when we turn up
Maybe later we can roll out
show you something you don't know about
Tonight we be takin' off flight with a camera to show about

I got that golden ticket
we should just go and kick it
This the factory
Listen to Kels order daiquiris
With your bitches, gettin' drunk as fuck
See a bitch I fucked then get mad at me
Listen to Kels then get back with me
'Cause I could fix broken bridges
she could never burn 'em
Yeezy taught her well, he ain't ever gonna learn her
You would be a liar if you said I didn't want her
But candy is so delicious
this shit sweet
I be hitting other bitches like this shit weak
This the worst pussy I had all week
But you got that golden ticket
Fuck the airfare we should have a affair
Life's real unfair to the ones scared
Life really ain't a game when it's one player
That's scary huh, very huh
like it when I beat the pussy up like Jerry vs Tom
With a bat like Barry Bonds
She said she had too much baggage to carry on

You make me optimistic
We should just go and kick it
You got that golden ticket
We got some golden tickets, igh!

I can put you in the Mile High Club, what's up?
Let's take a trip

Have you ever read "The World Is Yours"
On a blimp

Overall Meaning

The song "Planes" by Jeremih featuring J. Cole is about leisurely enjoying the high-life with a significant other. The song opens with Jeremih driving through the city in his massive luxury car, and telling his girl to let her hair down and enjoy the ride. He then offers to take her to a whole new level of luxury by suggesting they join the Mile High Club, a society of couples who have had sex while on an airplane. The song continues with Jeremih describing how he'd show his girl a good time and gives her the freedom to let loose and be herself. He ends by declaring that he wants to have an affair with her and compares himself to Willy Wonka, handing out golden tickets to those who can join him on his luxurious adventures.

The song's chorus is a reference to the Mile High Club, a commonly known phrase that refers to couples having sex on an airplane while flying at cruising altitude. The song's opening line, "catch me rollin' through the city," is a nod to the previous song "Don't Tell Em," in which Jeremih sings "Rhythm is a dancer, I need a companion" and J. Cole's line "Taking off like a runway" similarly continues the same theme. Throughout the song, the two artists compare their lifestyles to that of rich celebrities and lavish tourists, talking about their possessions and experiences. There is also an allusion to the 1983 movie Scarface when they mention "The world is yours" which was the tagline of the film.

Listen to Kels then get back with me
Listen to R. Kelly's music and then come to me

You would be a liar if you said I didn't want her
If you said that I didn't want her, you'd be lying

But candy is so delicious
But other women are also appealing

this shit sweet
This situation is very nice

I be hitting other bitches like this shit weak
I'm sleeping with other women because this situation is boring

This the worst pussy I had all week
This is the worst sexual experience I've had all week

But you got that golden ticket
But you have something special

Fuck the airfare we should have a affair
Forget the airfare, we should have an affair

Life's real unfair to the ones scared
Life is unfair to those who are afraid

Life really ain't a game when it's one player
Life is not a game when you're alone

That's scary huh, very huh
That's frightening, very frightening

like it when I beat the pussy up like Jerry vs Tom
I like it when I have sex aggressively

With a bat like Barry Bonds
Like Barry Bonds swinging a bat

She said she had too much baggage to carry on
She said she had too much emotional baggage to handle

You make me optimistic
You make me feel hopeful and positive

We should just go and kick it
We should just hang out and have fun

You got that golden ticket
You have something special

We got some golden tickets, igh!
We have some special opportunities
