Background and release

Discussing the inspiration of the song, Hitch said:

I re-wrote "Fuck U Betta" with my friends Lauren and Vic in Toronto after I had broken up with a boyfriend, who had told me that he started dating a model. I was like, 'Yeah, she's prettier than I'll ever be, but can she do it like me?' Then we gave it to Benny, and Benny was freaking out over it." [1]

"Fuck U Betta" was digitally released on 31 January 2012. [2]

Composition

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy described the composition as "a quirky mix of squiffy vocal effects, pulsing club beats and plenty of bad language". [3]

Chart performance

On its sixth week in the chart, "Fuck U Betta" reached number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for the issue dated 17 March 2012. [1] According to Nielsen SoundScan, the song had sold 28,000 downloads by March 2012. [1]

Music video
