"'U & Me'" is a song by the Italian group Cappella, released on 6 June 1994 via Axis Records and Red Bullet labels as the sixth single from their second studio album, 'U Got 2 Know' (1994). Co-written and produced by Gianfranco Bortolotti, it features vocals by Vikki Sheperd, sampled from her song "Love Has Changed My Mind". The single experienced success in many European countries, particularly in Finland where it peaked at number-one for two weeks. It also peaked within the top 10 in Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland and the UK.

Critical reception



Music writer James Masterton wrote in his weekly UK chart commentary, "The new hit is more of the same, Italian dance which will probably find as much favour and annoy as many people as the last one." Pan-European magazine 'Music & Media' noted that "a synth buzzes like a swarm of bees approaching with queen bee singer Kelly ahead of it. The sting of this Euro dance song is of course the catchy melody line and the simple yell." Alan Jones from 'Music Week' rated it four out of five. He said, "Less distinctive than recent Cappella outings, this actually resembles Maxx's Get-A-Way, with similar synth scoring and a passable rap. But since that record is top five and Cappella have had three consecutive Top 10 hits, it is not hard to see where this is going." James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update declared it as a "'you and me forever' girls prodded surging cheesy Italo hip house galloper".

Chart performance



"U & Me" was successful on the charts in Europe, peaking at number-one in Finland for two weeks and also topping the 'Music & Media' European Dance Radio Chart for a total of five weeks. The single made it to the top 10 also in Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland and the UK, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it entered on June 25, 1994 and peaked at number seven on July 9. In the UK, "U & Me" reached number ten in its third week at the UK Singles Chart, on June 26, and it did also reach number ten on the UK Dance Singles Chart. Additionally, it was a top 20 hit in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland. Outside Europe, it charted in Israel, peaking at number eight and in Australia, where it went to number 76.
