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]
