"In the Basement" is a song by Australian singer Jade MacRae. It was released on 22 September 2007[1] as the lead single from her second album, Get Me Home (2008), and reached number 60 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[2]

MacRae said 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."[3]

"In the Basement" won the 2008 APRA songwriting award for "Urban Work of the Year".[4]
