When a molecule absorbs visible or ultraviolet radiation, electrons in their ground state are promoted to higher states. Through various types of decay, the electrons fall back to their ground states. During this process, some infrared radiation is emitted, which is felt as heat. Black materials emit more infrared radiation because most of the decay of electrons from excited states to ground states involves infrared radiation emission.
