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."

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

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".

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. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the song had sold 28,000 downloads by March 2012.

Music video

The official music video for "Fuck U Betta" was directed by Chris Applebaum. It shows Hitch in black and white backgrounds sitting on a chair.
