In a similar fashion to "The Apl Song", which appeared on the group's 2003 album Elephunk, the song is rapped solo by apl.de.ap as a tribute to his childhood upbringing in the Philippines. However, in contrast to the first song's somber tone, "Bebot" is an uptempo song designed to be played at parties and clubs.
The term "Bebot" is Filipino slang for "pretty woman", "hot chick", "hottie", "baby/babe". The music video for "Bebot" features primarily Filipinos, and Filipino Americans. In 2006, Patricio Ginelsa (Kid Heroes Productions) and AJ Calomay (Xylophone Films), who also directed and produced "The Apl Song" and the Filipino American action comedy film, Lumpia were enlisted to make a music video for "Bebot".
