Background and reception

"Ba*Bing" was written by Havana Brown, together with Luciana Caporaso, Nick Clow and Carl Ryden, with Clow handling production.[1][2] The track, which Brown notes as one of her favourites,[3] is named after Brown's yorkshire terrier, who would often be in the studio with her during recording sessions.[4] The song, which incorporates a bhangra beat,[4] was described by Mike Wass from Idolator as "sexy" and "spin bone-rattling", and a writer for Take40 Australia called it "a quirky dance track".[5][6]

"Ba*Bing" was released digitally on 13 September 2013, as a promotional single[5] from her debut album Flashing Lights (2013).[7] "Ba*Bing" debuted on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart at number forty-six on 24 September 2013, becoming her third song to chart within the top one hundred.[8] The recording only spent one week on the charts.[9] "Ba*Bing" also appeared on the ARIA Dance Charts, spending two weeks in the top twenty, and peaking at number nine.[10]

Despite "Ba*Bing" not being released as an official single, a video clip premiered on Brown's VEVO account on Monday 8 September 2014, almost a year after it was first digitally released. The video was included on the single "Better Not Said", which was released in Australia on 12 September 2014.[11]
