He was signed to Pittsburgh-based Rostrum Records and released his debut album Blue Slide Park on November 8, 2011, which debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 despite being released completely independently. He released five studio albums in his lifetime, which all peaked in the top 5, along with a posthumous album titled "Circles" with help from producer Jon Brion and Miller's family.
In 2013, Miller released his second studio album, "Watching Movies With the Sound Off". The album featured artists such as Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler the Creator, Ab-Soul, and long-time friend Schoolboy Q. The album took a more personal approach compared to his previous works.
In 2014, Miller released the 24-track mixtape "Faces". Considered by many to be one of his best works, he explores themes of drug use, employing and featuring collaborators of Mac from his previous album, including Schoolboy Q and Earl Sweatshirt, but also sees new faces such as Rick Ross.
In 2015, Mac released his third studio album, "GO:OD AM", his first with new label Warner Records. The album featured a more energetic and vibrant theme than "Faces" and "Watching Movies With The Sound Off", reflecting a more optimistic, redemptive angle on his personal life, while maintaining elements of his introspective and thought-provoking style from earlier works.
In 2016, Miller released his fourth studio album, titled "The Divine Feminine". He explores themes of love and femininity, largely influenced by his relationship with Ariana Grande at the time and featuring appearances from the likes of Kendrick Lamar and Anderson Paak.
In August 2018, following major events in Miller's life, including his breakup with Ariana Grande, with Miller's drug addiction alleged to be a contributing factor, as well as a car crash incident in which McCormick was charged with a DUI, Miller released his fifth and final studio album during his lifetime titled "Swimming". Continuing the dive into his personal life, Miller explores his heartfelt struggles and grief in the past, but remains optimistic for the future. Swimming was nominated for Best Rap Album posthumously at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
Miller had struggled with substance abuse for a long time before his death. On September 7, 2018, he was found dead in his home in Los Angeles, California from an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol, only a little over a month after the release of "Swimming". He was only 26 years old. McCormick was buried in his hometown of Pittsburgh. Miller's passing was largely unexpected and had a large impact on the hip-hop community as a whole, with many paying their respects to Miller. On October 31, 2018, a tribute concert, titled "Mac Miller: A Celebration of Life", featured renowned artists and many longtime collaborators of Miller including Travis Scott, Schoolboy Q, SZA, Chance the Rapper, and Earl Sweatshirt. The concert was a celebration of the late rapper's life and musical achievements, and all profits were donated to the Mac Miller Circles Fund, which provides young people from underprivileged backgrounds with opportunities to explore arts and music.
In January 2020, Miller's posthumous album titled "Circles", worked on in companionship with his album "Swimming", was announced on January 8 along with the single "Good News" and released later that month. Every track on the album was accompanied by a video of the same name, often with psychedelic imagery and images of Mac before his passing and throughout his life. With a more melancholic theme compared to his previous works, the album was well-received by fans and critics alike, renowned for the care placed in continuing Mac's artistic vision.
And, he did it all without a Drake feature.
Another Night
Mac Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I really get out of the crib too much
As I spend another night with out a single thing to do
Cept' writin down this music I precede to bring to you
My man Billy hit me up, he got some weed he bringin' through
Tell him better be that good and grab a pack of swishers too
That's what usually happens, Deserve some cool relaxin'
I'm just a regular kid at my crib doin' regular shit, burnin 5 spliffs
I'm so high, another night alone so I'ma pour another cup and roll another zone
I'm gone, you ain't gonna bring me back
So gone couldn't tell you where I'm at
Maybe New York, Philly, maybe Pittsburgh
You wanna find me, hit me on Twitter
Well that sound mad lame
People love me, they don't even know my last name
Waitin' at the station till it's time that I can board the train
Headin' to the fortune, fame should explore my brain
See what I'm thinkin' 'bout, pour a little liquor then I drink it down
'Cause it's just another night on my own, layin' back as I light up my dro
It's just another night alone
I spend another night alone
Said 'cause it's just another night on my own, layin' back as I light up my dro
It's just another night alone
I spend another night alone
Yeah, uh
I turn my phone on silent, I need to get away
Put on J. Cole's Warm Up and let it play
I thank god for blessing me with life every day
And to my peoples who've gone, we'll meet at heaven's gate
I've been sellin' haze but I'm sure there's better ways
That I can get my pay, I just need to get it straight
Nothin' left to say now, it's time for action
No more bullshit, no more relaxin'
Rapping's my passion so I stay writin'
Spend a couple nights in, burn out all the lights in my room
Stuck in my crib like glue
That's what I do, it's nothin' new
'Cause it's just another night on my own, layin' back as I light up my dro
It's just another night alone
I spend another night alone
Said it's just another night on my own, layin' back as I light up my dro
It's just another night alone
I spend another night alone, yeah
Night on my own, layin' back as I light up my dro
It's just another night alone
I spend another night alone
The lyrics to Mac Miller's song "Another Night" describe a typical night in the life of a young artist who spends most of his time writing music, smoking weed, and reflecting on life. The first few lines suggest that the artist rarely leaves his house or goes out at night. He spends most of the time writing music, as that's his passion and what he is best at. The artist's friend Billy comes over with weed and some swishers, and they smoke together. They watch Curb Your Enthusiasm and burn five spliffs. The artist acknowledges that it's just a regular night for him, nothing out of the ordinary.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "another night alone" several times, indicating that the artist is often by himself and doesn't have much else to do other than write music and smoke weed. He acknowledges that he's alone, but he's okay with it because he enjoys the solitude and introspection that come with it. He is not bothered by this lifestyle, as he knows that this is part of the grind to achieve his desires.
At the end of the song, the artist turns his phone on silent, puts on J. Cole's Warm Up, and reflects on life. He reminds himself to be grateful for every day and look forward to meeting his people who have passed away in heaven. He acknowledges that he is selling weed so he can earn a living, but he knows that there are other ways to make money. However, he is committed to his music and is determined to succeed.
