Bass Down Low is the debut single by American recording artist Dev. It was written by Dev alongside its producers, The Cataracs, who are also featured on the track. The song was released on December 6, 2010, through Universal Republic 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 she appeared on. British rapper Tinie Tempah
is 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 61 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Top Heatseekers
chart. The song also reached the top forty in Canada and Ireland. It
achieved its highest peak in the United Kingdom at number ten, and
became Dev's second top ten hit on the chart, following "Like a G6". 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.
