B-side	"Next To Me"

"In The Basement" was the first single to be lifted of Australian urban singer Jade MacRae's second album Get Me Home. The single didn't fare well in the charts due to lack of Radio airplay.

MacRae says of the song, "I wrote In The Basement on a whirlwind writing trip to Sweden in early 2007. I was lucky enough to work with Arnthor Birgisson, one of the incredible writers from Max Martin’s famous Maratone Studios in Stockholm. We had one day together. He had a huge collection of vintage synths and we ended up with a banging electro club track.".

"In The Basement" won the 2008 APRA songwriting award for "Urban Work Of The Year".

Video

The music video for "In The Basement" features Bobby Morley (who MacRae was partnered with during season 2 of It Takes Two). Choreography was done by Marko Panzic, who would later go on to reach the Top 20 in series one of So You Think You Can Dance Australia. (Panzic also appears in the video, along with fellow future Top 20 SYTYCD finalist Kassy Lee).
