“Based” is seemingly Tay-K’s dedication to Lil B. The title refers to the slang coined by Lil B, meaning “being yourself.” Tay is a fan of Lil B and has posted his songs on Twitter in the past.

The track’s beat is produced by Keyboard Kid, Lil B’s main producer who Tay shouts out in the lyrics. A remix produced by DP Beats was released before this version.
