She started attending music school during middle school and took theatre lessons in high school. Jahović eventually received a bachelor's degree in management from the Braća Karić University in Belgrade.

She began her career by competing at regional music festivals and won at the youth festival Zlatna staza in Montenegro with "Samo ti, moja muziko" ("Only You, My Music"). Jahović then rose to prominence upon her debut album Tačka ("Enough") in 2002, which was released under Dino Merlin's record label. Jahović in 2004 joined pop-rock band Hari Mata Hari on their tour across Bosnia and Herzegovina and North America, performing for Yugoslav diaspora. Her sophomore album, Radije ranije ("Rather Sooner"), was released through City Records in 2005. It saw significant success with hit-songs such as "Da l' ona zna" ("Does She Know"). Same year she was also declared the songwriter of the year at the Pjesma Mediterana festival in Budva.

In 2007, Jahović collaborated with Serbian duo Flamingosi on "La Gitana" ("The Gypsy Woman"). The single's accompanying music video was awarded at the Sunčane Skale festival in Montenegro.{{cite web |url=http://www.suncaneskale.org/index.php?pg=s2007 |title=Muzicki festival Suncane skale 2014 |publisher=Suncaneskale.org |access-date=2014-08-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202232917/http://www.suncaneskale.org/index.php?pg=s2007 |archive-date=2013-12-02 }} The following year, she released her first single in English, titled "Exhale",{{cite web|url=http://www.takvim.com.tr/Magazin/2009/05/29/emina_bir_harika |title=Emina bir harika - Takvim - 29 Mayıs 2009 |publisher=Takvim |access-date=2014-08-08}} which was completely produced and recorded in New York City under the production wing of Bojan Dugić (aka Bojan "Genius" Dugic), the Recording Academy's Grammy Awards voting member who worked with such best selling artists as Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Jay-Z, and Jennifer Lopez. The maxi single contained remix tracks by DJs, including Elvir Gazić and Levent Gündüz. The tracks "Push It" and "Push It (Remix)" featured Cory Gunz, an American rapper.

On 19 April 2008, the accompanying video for "Exhale" premiered on the MTV Adria show Top 20 which counts down the biggest videos in the localized version of the music and entertainment channel MTV Europe.{{cite web|url=http://www.balkanmedia.com/emina-jahovic-sandal-pogledajte-novi-spot-exhale-cl5096.html |title=Emina Jahović Sandal - Pogledajte novi spot "Exhale" |publisher=Balkanmedia.com |access-date=2014-08-08}} Emir Khalilzadeh directed the video.{{cite web|url=http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/magazin/haber/10334647.asp |title=Emina'dan yeni single - Hürriyet |date=12 November 2008 |publisher=Hurriyet.com.tr |access-date=2014-08-08}} Khalilzadeh also directed the music video for Emina's 2009 song "Pile moje" ("My Dear"), which was shot in historical places such as Istanbul High School.

In December 2008, she released her single "Još ti se nadam" ("I'm Still Hoping for You"), a duet with the Serbian singer Saša Kovačević. The song was first presented at the Serbian Radio Festival in Vrnjačka Banja. Jahović said that she had written the lyrics for "Još ti se nadam" after she had broken up with Mustafa Sandal for a short time in 2006. However, its music was credited to the influential Greek recording artist Michalis Hatzigiannis. The single was re-released later on in Emina's 2009 album. The music video for the song was shot on several different locations in Serbia and was considered to be one of the most expensive music videos in Serbian music history.

In 2009, as a special guest star, she performed the song "Pile moje" at Sunčane Skale.{{cite web |url=http://www.suncaneskale.org/?pg=0703 |title=Muzicki festival Suncane skale 2014 |publisher=Suncaneskale.org |access-date=2014-08-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102233001/http://www.suncaneskale.org/?pg=0703 |archive-date=2013-11-02 |url-status=dead }} Additionally, "Rođeni sa greškom" ("Born With a Mistake"), which is a pop song performed by singers Ana Bebić, Milica Majstorović, and Danijel Pavlović, was written by Jahović in Istanbul, in the studio of her pop star husband Mustafa Sandal who is also a music producer.{{cite web|url=http://tracara.com/kaliope-i-naum-pobednici-suncanih-skala/ |title=Kaliope i Naum pobednici "Sunčanih skala" | Tračara |publisher=Tracara.com |date=2009-07-10 |access-date=2014-08-08}}{{cite web |url=http://suncaneskale.org/index.php?vece=3 |title=Muzicki festival Suncane skale 2014 |publisher=Suncaneskale.org |access-date=2014-08-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102232921/http://suncaneskale.org/index.php?vece=3 |archive-date=2013-11-02 }}{{cite web|url=http://tracara.com/emina-jahovic-ugostila-bivse-studente-ot-u-istanbulu/ |title=Emina Jahović ugostila bivše studente OT u Istanbulu | Tračara |publisher=Tracara.com |date=2009-06-30 |access-date=2014-08-08}}

On 21 May 2009, Jahović's third studio album Vila ("Fairy") was released through PGP RTS. She dedicated this album to her late grandfather, Adam. The album was recorded in two years and included songs written and composed by Jahović, except "Ne zaboravi" ("Don't Forget"), a song by Aleksandra Milutinović who also worked on Emina's previous albums, and "Zver" ("Beast"), which was co-written and co-produced by Dino Merlin. The track "Ne zaboravi" featured a back-up vocal by the famous Turkish pop singer İzel. The album also featured a duet with Dino Merlin, "Med" ("Honey"), which is known as the only song Merlin ever sang that he had not written by himself. It is also mentioned by Jahović that the reason why she chose the name Vila for the album is because she thought the title track was one of the best songs she had ever written and that was why she wanted people to pay attention to it.{{cite web |url=http://www.blic.rs/zabava.php?id=93684 |title=The song is a strong ballad about a woman who would like to be a fairy, but she is not Emina Jahović |publisher=Blic.rs |access-date=2014-08-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100131093110/http://www.blic.rs/zabava.php?id=93684 |archive-date=2010-01-31 }}

|description = A 30-second sample of Emina Jahović's "I da mogu" featuring the chorus sung by Jahović in the range of B₂ to C{{music|sharp}}, backed by a synth marching beat. The song became an international hit single in southeastern Europe.}}

Originally marketed as a teen pop singer on late 1990s and early 2000s, Jahović is known for blending R&B with schlager music. Reviewers identify Emina's music as mainly belonging to pop music genre; however, among fusion and subgenres that her music is referred to as are traditional pop, teen pop, synthpop, soft rock, power pop, pop rock, indie pop, glam rock, Europop, Euro disco, electropop, easy listening, disco house, deep house, dance-pop, Britpop, bebop, and ballad.

The constant theme in Jahović's music and lyrics is love, although she has written on other subjects including grief. Considering her vocal agility and endurance, Emina's voice is likely to be classified as mezzo-soprano with a warm lower register and an agile high register.

Jahović is widely known as "pop princeza" ("Pop Princess"). However, she is sometimes referred to as "pop diva" and "srpska diva" ("Serbian Diva").{{cite web |url=http://www.scandal.rs/srpska-diva-ocarala-tursku-emina-jahovic-gostovala-na-cnn-u/ |title=Srpska diva očarala Tursku: Emina Jahović gostovala na CNN-u! : Scandal |publisher=Scandal.rs |date=2012-11-22 |access-date=2014-08-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140519123100/http://www.scandal.rs/srpska-diva-ocarala-tursku-emina-jahovic-gostovala-na-cnn-u/ |archive-date=2014-05-19 }}{{cite web |url=http://www.story.rs/vesti/svet-poznatih/10098-serija-polje-lala-sa-eminom-jahovic-od-jeseni-na-nasoj-televizij.html |title=Serija Polje Lala sa Eminom Jahović od jeseni na našoj televiziji - Story.rs - Upoznajte poznate |publisher=Story.rs |access-date=2014-08-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203032904/http://www.story.rs/vesti/svet-poznatih/10098-serija-polje-lala-sa-eminom-jahovic-od-jeseni-na-nasoj-televizij.html |archive-date=2013-12-03 }}{{Cite web|url=https://www.hellomagazin.rs/2012/05/17/emina-jahovic-nastupila-u-beogradu-foto/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130331072321/http://www.hellomagazin.rs/emina-jahovic-nastupila-u-beogradu-foto/|url-status=dead|title=Emina Jahović nastupila u Beogradu (Foto)|date=17 May 2012|archive-date=31 March 2013|access-date=29 August 2020}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.pressonline.rs/zabava/dzet-set/151753/najlepsi-duet-emina-i-natasa-osvajaju-planetu.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130219030522/http://www.pressonline.rs/sr/vesti/dzet_set_svet/story/151753/Najlep%C5%A1i+duet:+Emina+i+Nata%C5%A1a+osvajaju+planetu.html|url-status=dead|title=Najlepši duet: Emina i Nataša osvajaju planetu|website=Press Online|archive-date=19 February 2013|access-date=29 August 2020}}{{cite web |url=http://zena.blic.rs/PULS_poznatih/9186/Emina_Jahovic_Uzivam_kada_me_sin_budi_i_uspavljuje |title=Emina Jahović: Uživam kada me sin budi i uspavljuje | PULS poznatih | Žena |publisher=Zena.blic.rs |access-date=2014-08-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130603024823/http://zena.blic.rs/PULS_poznatih/9186/Emina_Jahovic_Uzivam_kada_me_sin_budi_i_uspavljuje |archive-date=2013-06-03 }}{{cite web|url=http://www.svet.rs/najnovije-vesti/prvi-nastup-posle-porodaja-emina-jahovic-pevala-u-beogradu |title=Prvi nastup posle porođaja: Emina Jahović pevala u Beogradu! : svet |publisher=Svet.rs |date=2012-05-17 |access-date=2014-08-08}} As a result of her album Vila, Serbian media also gave her the nickname of "balkanska vila" ("Fairy of the Balkans").{{cite web|url=http://www.rts.rs/page/magazine/sr/story/431/Muzika/157681/Balkanska+vila+u+Beogradu+.html |title= "Balkanska vila" u Beogradu |language=sr |publisher=Rts.rs |date=2009-09-14 |access-date=2014-08-08}}{{cite web |url=http://www.story.rs/vesti/svet-poznatih/9178-emina-jahovic-definitivno-u-tv-seriji.html |title=Emina Jahović definitivno u TV seriji - Story.rs - Upoznajte poznate |publisher=Story.rs |access-date=2014-08-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202222257/http://www.story.rs/vesti/svet-poznatih/9178-emina-jahovic-definitivno-u-tv-seriji.html |archive-date=2013-12-02 }}
