Well, This is good. But I hate to destroy your confidence, but there are some issues.
First off, we're listening to the same modulated bass...which gets a little redundant and old pretty fast. The bass sounds off. Like there is too much compression on the low end... Where are the high harmonics? A bass just isn't, well, bass. It has striations in it's frequency, which I'm sure you had, but it has high end harmonics. The best way to focus on those would to route the bass to a maximus channel and do some multiband compression there. The opener was kinda, well, weird. it opened on sort of a disharmony melody/lead. And the build was sort of irrational. I never heard a drop/ build like that. which is good, since i never heard it, but it was constructed in the most odd manner. Verses don't seem to match with the drops, I hear a happy tone, then it goes into something that sound completely different.
Don't get me wrong, you have the capability, but just some of your mixing and melodies could use some work, the same with the EQing in the bass range. But I liked the ending, it sounded nice and made me happy.
I just added a FLP to my Signature for anyone with FL studio 11 to DL, so if you want to mess with it, or see how i construct a basic track, then feel free to DL it.
