He is currently signed to Visionary Music Group and Capitol Records. Bellion also opened the concerts from the third leg of twenty one pilots' Emotional Roadshow World Tour, which also featured guest artists Judah and the Lion.
Strictly a producer at age 14, Bellion became increasingly fed up with being asked for generic records. After literally giving singing and rapping "a shot" out of frustration, the now 32-year-old Bellion has developed an incredibly unique lane untouched by anyone. His obsession with moving forward and experimentation has driven him to create "solid and refreshing tunes", and in the words of Jon himself "that's all that really matters"
Jon's 2010 mixtape "Scattered Thoughts Vol. 1", an exploration of different genres all written, composed, produced, and sung by Jon, is available to download from his official site: http://www.jonbellion.com/
Bellion has since released three more mixtapes: Translations Through Speakers, The Separation, and The Definition.
His first album 'The Human Condition' was released on June 10th, 2016; his first piece of music that was sold instead of given for free. His second album "Glory Sound Prep" was released on November 9th, 2018. His single, "Crop Circles" was released on May 31, 2019.
Bellion embarked on The Glory Sound Prep Tour which began on June 12 and concluded on November 12 of the same year. He helped produce and write singles such as "Stacy" and "Life Must Go On" by Quinn XCII, as well as "Liar" and "Shameless" by Camila Cabello, "Graveyard" by Halsey, and "Memories" by Maroon 5, "Holy" by Justin Bieber, featuring Chance the Rapper. Bellion co-wrote multiple songs on Justin Bieber's Justice album, including the hit song "Ghost", which Bellion says he wrote about his late grandmother. The song reached #1 on US Pop Radio. He also co-wrote and co-produced "Vulnerable" from Selena Gomez's 2020 album Rare and co-wrote "Daisies" by Katy Perry.
On June 8, 2021, Bellion took to Twitter where he tweeted "New music" before quickly deleting the tweet. He then changed his social media into a "blacked-out" state a couple of weeks later. Jon was featured on Lawrence's song "False Alarms" released on July 22, 2021. Bellion released his first single in over 2 years, "I Feel It" (with Burna Boy) on September 17, 2021. On February 19, 2023, Bellion released an unfinished song called "Fallen" to his social media. The song features Jon Batiste.
In July 2019, Bellion launched his own record label called Beautiful Mind Records and signed the pop/soul band, Lawrence. Lawrence was the opener for most of his shows on the Glory Sound Prep Tour. He helped write and produce three singles off of their 2021 debut album Hotel TV: "Casualty", "It's Not All About You", and "The Weather".
Bellion has stated that his intention with this new label is to "take care of artists for the rest of their careers" and to create a family of musical creators who he supports and with whom he collaborates.
Bellion has stated on multiple occasions that Kanye West is one of his biggest inspirations. "I loved everything but it was Kanye West who really changed everything for me." Bellion has also stated that he was inspired by Eminem, Pharrell Williams, Coldplay, John Mayer, André 3000, and Paul Simon. Bellion has also made it known that he is a big fan of J Dilla and the animated film studio Pixar, drawing inspiration from the musician and computer animation film studio for both The Definition and The Human Condition. Bellion explains that he loves how Pixar movies are "simple yet presented in a way that is groundbreaking". Bellion credits much of his musical development and success to his bandmates whom he met while in college, expressing his love for them in his "Beautiful Mind Documentary" stating, "Everybody in my band has taught me something, and has gotten me to where I am because of them" continuing "I surround myself with people better than me at something, you will very rarely see somebody around me, especially musically, who I don't look up to".
Overwhelming
Jon Bellion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her soul is presidential like Barack, son
Yeah, she call me Goose, I call her Maverick 'cause of Top Gun
They say we annoying, they just jealous cause we got love
Yeah, I got a hot one
She don't want a problem if there's not one
But people come around and try some stupid shit to start one
She give you the people's fuckin' elbow like The Rock, son
There is a potion in your lips, so sweet, I'd die
There is an ocean in your hips, so deep, I'd dive
I hear an opus when we kiss that completes my life
Yeah, I think I got one
And every single little thing about her is so
Overwhelming
Everything about you is so overwhelming
When I think about you, it gets overwhelming
'Cause everything about you is so overwhelming
Come over here and overwhelm me
"Hey, do I impress you?"
I really like the way you rock a sweatsuit
When you working out and I'm just watching how your legs move
They would think that you was, like, developed in a test tube
You deserve a theme song
You could be the shoulder that I lean on
Love it when you're late for work and try to slip your jeans on
You be bumping Chili Peppers all up in your Nissan
There is a potion in your lips, so sweet, I'd die
There is an ocean in your hips, so deep, I'd dive
I hear an opus when we kiss that completes my life
Yeah, I think I got one
And every single little thing about her is so
Overwhelming
Everything about you is so overwhelming
When I think about you, it gets overwhelming
'Cause everything about you is so overwhelming
Come over here and overwhelm me
You write checks that my ass can't cash
I bit a little more than I can chew
I bit a little more than I can chew
You write checks that my ass can't cash
I bit a little more than I can chew
I bit a little more than I can chew
'Cause everything about you is so
Overwhelming
Everything about you is so overwhelming
When I think about you, it gets overwhelming
'Cause everything about you is so overwhelming
Come over here and overwhelm me
The song "Overwhelming" by Jon Bellion is a love confession to his significant other. Bellion starts by saying he thinks he has found the one for him. He compares his partner's soul to that of a President; specifically, President Barack Obama, who is revered for his compassion and leadership qualities. He compares their relationship to that of the characters Maverick and Goose's relationship in the movie Top Gun. Bellion dismisses their haters, who consider their love to be annoying by saying they are just jealous of their love. In the second verse, Jon praises his partner's attractiveness and work ethic, saying he is fond of her when she is wearing a sweatshirt, and he admires the way she moves her legs. He believes he is lucky to have found her and even suggests that she deserves a theme song. The song ends with Bellion admitting that he might have overestimated his bravado, but he is willing to take a chance on his love despite the risks.
Throughout the song, Bellion uses hyperbolic language to describe how he feels about his partner. He says he would dive deep into the ocean of her hips and remarks on being overwhelmed by everything about her. Bellion is bowled over by his love's physical and inner beauty, and every kiss they share seems to complete his life. The song has an upbeat and joyous tone that highlights how deeply in love Bellion is with his partner.
