Release Date: December 23, 2012 (Digital Download Only)

The "Slap My Bass" remix featuring R&B singer Dominic Brown includes different lyrics to the song as an electric guitar is more present instead of the church organ. The remix also cuts out the repeated pre-chorus and chorus while diving into the bridge instead. The song's first verse is also sung by Dominic instead of Steph and includes a whole new verse rapped by Dominic Brown. The song also contains various adlibs not heard in the original, including "Moans" made by Stephanie Fierce substituting the words "pussy".


Composition:


"Slap My Bass" is mostly a midtempo R&B song with a sensual vibe resembling Stephanie Fierce's previous work on "The Past, The Present and The Future of Pop". In the song, Fierce showcases a more sexy and raunchy side with her innuendo lyrics and vocals as she sings over a church organ, which gives the song a medieval and 40's music inspired feel. The song also contains echoing drum patterns that reflects modern R&B music, a bluesy guitar that blends well with Steph's sensual vocals, an electric guitar that becomes highly present towards the end giving the song more edge,and clapping synthesizers that gives the song a strong urban touch. Aside from the song's sensual lyrics and production, Fierce's vocal seem to also be a highlight, especially towards the end, when coming close to a high pitch range that of Mariah Carey. Unlike most of the songs on "Love is Lust", "Slap My Bass" contains a more urban mainstream approach, which in Steph's case is something she hasn't considered doing much since the release of her second album. In prospect, this opens up a whole new idea that an album can blend a mainstream sound with something that's a bit more "out the box", and in Fierce's vision the addition of a "church organ" and electric guitars give the song a more Prince approach rather than a Michael Jackson approach. In this she means that the song is still very mainstream, but contains elements that give the song a more alternative approach. Lyrically the song talks about a true desire for sexual activities with her partner, in reason to appreciation of her man being good and loyal. The song's title "Slap My Bass" also refers to "Slap My Ass" as a sexual innuendo.


As the song opens up, the medieval sound of a church organ is heard as Steph's soft and sultry vocals come present. The lyrics begin innocently as she talks about the appreciation of her man, sooner than later, the songs meets up with urban beats and synthesizers slapping against the song's innocent church organ. As it continues, the words "Fucking you is really all that's on my mind" may give the listener a rude awakening. The song proceeds with more explicit sexual innuendo language especially in the song's chorus with "tonight I'm gonna put my bossy on your body, boy I love it when you watch me" and "Want you to be slapping on my bass, slapping, slapping on my bass,". The song progresses with cocky vocals and lyrics all throughout, "You'll never need 2 'cause I will be your number 1. Them other chicks are superficial, betta you know you know I'm the one". The song however becomes even more aggressive vocally in the bridge and outro, as her more raspy and lower register becomes present. Eventually, Steph loses control and begins to use slang and raunchy words to describe what she'll be doing to her man; "Watch me pop it, pop it, p-p-p-p-pop this pussy on you baby. Now slap it, slap it, slap it, drop it all in me baby". During so, the clashing of beats is heard as Stephanie Fierce eventually exits out releasing and unleashing a diva like high pitched moan, in reference to her reaching a form of orgasm. As the song ends, Fierce begins to softly chant "yes" in the background as an electric guitar crescendos into a sound that contains ambient features.


""Slap my Bass" is definitely one of my favorite songs on the album. In terms of sound, I was really inspired by a lot of 40's investigation films and the soundtrack of films in the 40's in general. This album is definitively very electric guitar heavy and I know electric guitars can be very cliche in pop music, but the inclusion of them in an R&B song such as this one is something I considered since the first day I even thought of the song. Obviously with the title of my new album, there was bound to be a raunchy 'let's fuck' song on this album. But I will definitely say that this song is not just a let's fuck track, there's something about the sound that just gives me chills because it's not hip hop, it still has that soulful "I love you" vibe, which connects well with the idea of message. It's not necessarily a Marvin Gaye "Sexual Healing" as well as it's not a Trina "Pop My Pussy" track either. Lyrically, I was impressed with my ability to be this shameless and confident. I've written raunchy songs before but in a more poetic kind of way, in this I was bit more careless with the choice of my words. However, sometimes we just want to show the ones we love a good time and show how much we appreciate them, how much desire we have for them and how horny we can get because of it. It's perfectly normal. I mean we're sexual and freaky creatures and I wasn't afraid to let go and be freak for a day in the studio. I will say that my man is very pleased to have a woman like me, because I'm strong and I'm able to take on BIG challenges. I think I positioned this track very well because in terms of the album's concept being lust, "Queen" which is the song that follows it, is much more stripped and vulnerable and sometimes we only think love in the sexual aspect of our interest, which proceeds to the are we really in this for the love or for the sex and that's being honest." - Stephanie Fierce

Parents please put your kids to sleep, REMIX!!!!

I just wanna show you how much I am for you, [Stephanie Fierce: yes]

Wanna show you how much I will forever be good, [Stephanie Fierce: yes]
Wanna show you how much you got your man feeling good, [Stephanie Fierce: oh yes]
Wanna show you how much, how much you understood, [Stephanie Fierce: oh yes]
Wanna show you how much I value what you say,
Not only are you loyal, you're patient with me baby,
Wanna show you how much I really care about your heart,
Wanna show you how much I hate being apart, oh, yes
Show you, show you, show you, till you through with me,
I wanna keep it how it is so you can never say how it used to be!

[Pre-Chorus:]

Stephanie Fierce:

But [Moans] you is really all that's on my mind
And I can't help but to think about it day and night,
I wanna make that body rock
Sit back and watch!

[Chorus:]

Tonight I work for you, oh-oh
Tonight I'm gonna work for you, oh-oh
Tonight I'm gonna put my [Moans] on your body
Boy I like it when you watch me, ah
Tonight it's going down
Want you to be
slapping on my bass, slapping, slapping on my bass,
Swirlin' on my bass, swirlin', swirlin' on my bass
Baby let me put my body on your body
Promise not to tell nobody
You about to take me down

[Verse 2:]

You'll never need 2 'cause I will be your number 1
Them other chicks are superficial
Betta you know you know I'm the one
and that's why I'm all in to you
'Cause I can recognize that you know that
That's why I'm backing this thing back
Pop-popping this thing back
Drop, drop, drop-dropping this thing back
This is for the time you gave me flowers
For the world that is ours
For the mula, for the power of love
And no I won't never ever e-ever give you up
And I wanna say thank you in case I don't thank you enough
A woman in the street and a freak in the you know what
Sit back, sit back, it's the pre-game show
Daddy you know what's up!

[Bridge:]

I'm a take this time to show you how much you mean to me
'Cause you are all I need,
No money can emphasize
Or describe
The love that's in-between the lines
Boy, look into my eyes
While I'm grinding on you
This is beyond sex,
I'm high on you
If it's real then you know how I feel
Rocking on you babe, rocking, rocking on you babe
Swirling on you babe,
In my mind all I can think about is a frame for our future
And the pictures of the past and a chance to make this love last!

[Dominick Brown Rap Verse]

Hey Stephy show me all the crazy things that you do
I heard so many amazing crazy things about you
whatever you do, don't do anything that'll make me say that 'I do'
I heard you make niggas create fantasies about you
I like the way you tutor that thing into the air and drop it down
And give it to me dirty like nobody ain't around
Your legs in the air and your clothes on the ground
Your head in the pillow, trying to hold in the sound
Now come here Shawty, let me grab and hold that
Remote control that, I love that when you down for me
I want you to know that, when you undressing
It's like I'm living out a fantasy
Cause you so soft, and I'm not that
You want this, but you got that
Magnum lifestyle, know I'm bout that
just wait until I get on top that,
Knock that ass from here to tomorrow
On the balcony, out in cabo
Know a shopping spree will follow
I'm in love, watching you model
Couple candle lights, create the ambiance
A pink lingerie and your louie vuitons
Pussy sick and slow music on
And I'm watching you like it's a movie on


[Chorus:]
Tonight I'm gonna dance for you, oh-oh
Tonight I'm gonna work for you, oh-oh
Tonight I'm gonna put my body on your body
Boy I like it when you watch me, ah
Tonight it's going down
Want you to be
Slapping on my bass, slapping, slapping on my babe,
I'll be swirlin' on my bass, swirlin', swirlin' on my bass
I'm wanna put my body on your body
Promise not to tell nobody
'Cause it's about to go down, oh!

[Outro:]
Watch me pop it, pop it, p-p-p-p-pop this [Moans] for you baby
Now slap it, slap it, drop it, drop it on me baby
watch it, watch it, watch it, watch me throw this [Moans] baby
Wanna make that body rock
Sit back and watch!
Me pop it, pop it, p-p-p-p-pop it for you baby
Now slap it, slap it, drop it, drop it for you baby
Watch it, watch it, watch it, watch me throw it baby
Wanna make that body rock
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Dominic Brown: Damn girl!]
Sit back and watch!
