Jeremih's 2009 debut single, "Birthday Sex" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart; it preceded the release of his self-titled debut album in June that year, which peaked at number six on the US Billboard 200. His 2010 single, "Down on Me" (featuring 50 Cent) received sextuple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and became his highest-charting song—at number four—on the Billboard Hot 100. It preceded his second album All About You (2010), which was met with a critical and commercial decline. His 2014 single, "Don't Tell 'Em" (featuring YG) became his third top-ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The song and its follow up singles, "Oui" and "Planez" (featuring J. Cole) each received quintuple platinum certification by the RIAA and preceded the release of his third studio album, Late Nights: The Album (2015). In 2018, Jeremih and California singer Ty Dolla Sign formed the duo MihTy and released their eponymous collaborative album in October of that year.
