"You and Me Song" first went out as a single in November 1994, lifted from Be a Girl, the Wannadies' third album, and it became the Swedish band's biggest hit. It's power pop with the sugar turned all the way up, produced and mixed by Nille Perned, with the writing credit split five ways.
It reached number 18 in Britain in April 1996, and a later UK release picked up an ampersand in its title. Riding the reissue's success and a spot on the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet, it made the band's next album, Bagsy Me, as well. The B-side covered the Violent Femmes' "Blister in the Sun". Since then it has sold plenty of Swedish commercials and scored a 2003 Coronation Street scene in which Richard Hillman drove Gail Platt and her family into a canal.
