Most would think that a song with this title would be all about bass, and when they listen on Myphonies (fake white ear-buds, [Apple Buds]) they may believe this. I found the song to be full of mid-bass, and that when friends listened to it on the stereo, they tend to turn all four of the right EQ bars down, and try to eek more bass out of the tune by raising the leftmost (100hz) bar to the top. Listening later on my KDE's phones I found this to be extremely fatiguing and 'artificial' sounding... so I removed equalization and let the song be heard the way it was meant to be, mid bass and all. I had finally found what distinguished me from the 'Bass heads', and have used EQ much more moderately since then.
