Mr. “Birthday Sex” teams up with Fiddy for the latest song from his sophomore album All About You, due in stores September 28. On this Auto-Tune-heavy jam, Jeremih instructs a lady to put it all “down on me” as 50 oggles a hottie that’s cutting a rug on the dance floor. This is the second track from the album to include a hip-hop heavyweight, with lead single “I Like” featuring Ludacris.

Glad this turned into a hit, my favorite single by him.

It's hot as hell but I can't take it seriously because I saw this video before I ever heard it on the radio.

This ended up being HUGE in the end.
Would this be considered bigger than "Birthday Sex"?

I wouldn't say so, at least not yet. It's really only big at Rhythmic. "Birthday Sex" was a huge Urban and Rhythmic hit that was crossover friendly. I don't think Pop will give this as much attention.

I wonder if this can manage to hit the Top 10 on Pop... with the big station adds, and its gaining nicely... should go at least Top 15 there!
Its gonna be almost 1 year since this song first surfaced.

Jeremih was in hot water before 50 Cent came along. The R&B crooner was reportedly in danger of being dropped from Def Jam after his sophomore album All About You failed to make an impact. But after the G-Unit henchman added his verse to “Down on Me” and the video with YouTube sensation Keenan Cahill went viral, he was given another shot.
“They was counting Jeremih out completely. He was already gon’ be dropped from Def Jam before ["Down on Me"],” 50 told Hot 97’s Angie Martinez. “He was definitely gonna be in a position where he was getting dropped because the first week sales was really low on the record.”
Finding himself in a financially comfortable position, the hip-hop mogul decided to hop on Jeremih’s second single on the strength of his artistic abilities. “We did the song, I didn’t care. I was just looking at him as an artist and I said he sounds good, and I thought he was a dope artist, so I said I’ma do it,” he explained. “And we did the song, and then it took off. It’s been number one for what, five weeks now?”
Since then, the club banger cracked the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and even higher on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. “It made sense to me from an artist’s perspective,” continued Fif. “What I have now, the luxury of being in a secure space financially, is me having the ability to make decisions based on just the art.”

#14 at Pop with a quadruple digit bullet - this song's pop success is bizarre to me. It's not terrible, but it's not excellent by any means and isn't at all the type of rhythmic material driving the format. Neither artist possesses much star power and the lyrics are a bit raunchy also ("All I really want is you down on me"?) but then again, Rihanna just took a song entitled "S&M" to #1 so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised.
