"Between You & Me" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Betty Who, from her third studio album, Betty (2019). The song was released as the album's third single on 14 November 2018. Who co-wrote the song with JHart, Pretty Sister and Peter Thomas Walsh, the lattermost of whom produced the track. A musical departure from Who's typically upbeat, synth-driven material, "Between You & Me" is an acoustic pop song featuring minimal production and prominent guitar instrumentation throughout; its confessional lyrics describe seeking romance from a friend whose feelings and intentions are unclear.
Who co-wrote the song based on personal experience with past relationships in which she questioned her own feelings, finding this theme relatable to both listeners and her co-writers. The product of an initially unsuccessful writing session, the songwriters stopped writing "Between You & Me" midway because Who was dissatisfied with its electronic direction. The songwriters eventually revisited the song after re-arranging it using only a guitar, ultimately completing the track six months later.
Who opted to release "Between You & Me" as the album's first single over a more upbeat track that had also been considered because it reminds her of her early songwriting career. One of her first singles as an independent artist since departing from RCA Records, Who considers the song's release an expression of her creative freedom. "Between You & Me" has garnered acclaim from music critics, who praised its acoustic production and Who's songwriting. An accompanying music video was released in November 2018, in which Who plays both characters exploring a same-sex relationship.
