"Me and You" is a song by British dubstep trio Nero that appears on their debut studio album, Welcome Reality. It was released in the United Kingdom as a digital download on 2 January 2011, with a 12" vinyl available the following day. On 8 January 2011 the single debuted at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart, also managing to top the UK Indie Chart.
The single was selected as Zane Lowe's Hottest Record in the World on 28 September 2010.BBC Radio 1 DJs Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac also selected "Me and You" to be their Weekend Anthem during December 2010. It also featured in the Sky Sports September advert. The Dirtyphonics remix was on the soundtrack of video games such as Dirt: Showdown, Forza Horizon (on the 'Bass Arena' radio station), and in a Gran Turismo 5 trailer for the debut of the 2015 Acura NSX then was later featured in the official track list of Gran Turismo 6. The song was used as the walk out song for the 2011–12 season of the Hyundai A-League.
Despite its name, the single's B-side track "Welcome Reality" is not included on the album of the same name. Although, a VIP mix of the song can be found in the iTunes deluxe version of the album.
Nick Levin of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
This breakthrough smash is indeed an almighty racket. But it is the very best kind of almighty racket, a swaggering synthesis of beats, power chords, stadium keyboard hooks, crowd noise and vocals from the lungularly-blessed Alana that sounds like the sort of thing David Haye might hear in his head as he struts into the ring. Memo to Emily Eavis: book this lot for Glasto now… but remember to buy the poor cows some ear muffs first! .
