About Bass Down Low

Produced by The Cataracs, the song was released on November 16, 2010, through Universal Motown as the lead single for Dev's debut studio album, The Night the Sun Came Up (2011). Initially, the song was made for The Cataracs with Dev as the featured act, but she was made the main artist as they believed it would be a suitable follow-up to Far East Movement's "Like a G6", which Dev and The Cataracs appeared on. British rapper Tinie Tempah was featured on an official remix of "Bass Down Low" that was made for the song's release in the United Kingdom. Musically, "Bass Down Low" is an electro song with skittering synths and the lyrics speak of different forms of debauchery. The song was met with positive reviews from critics. Commercially, "Bass Down Low" performed moderately in the United States, peaking at number sixty one on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Top Heatseekers chart. Internationally, the song peaked within the top ten of the charts in the United Kingdom and the top forty of the charts in Canada and the Republic of Ireland. The accompanying music video for "Bass Down Low" takes place in an underground club. The clip was directed by Ethan Lader who took inspiration from fashion and the film Fight Club. more »
