"Me & You Together Song" is a melancholic and sonically nihilistic dream pop and pop rock power ballad produced in a retro style that emulates rock music in the 1990s and early 2000s. It has a nostalgic soft rock instrumentation, composed of echoing, jangly pop rock guitars, dreamy guitar riffs, rumbling bass, clanging keyboards and bouncy, thunderous drums. The song's lyrics detail Healy's unrequited love for a female friend, describing the stages and moments that led to his lifelong affection for her. Thematically, it explores unrequited affection, rejection and heartbreak. The song's composition and lyrics drew comparisons to the soundtracks of 1990s romantic comedy films, Blink-182, Hanson, the Goo Goo Dolls and the New Radicals.
"Me & You Together Song" received positive reviews from contemporary music critics. Reviewers praised the song's nostalgic sound, lovelorn lyrics, and return to the more rock-oriented sound of their earlier work. It later appeared on several year-end lists. The song was a moderate commercial success, both internationally and in the 1975's native United Kingdom. It peaked at number five on the U.S. Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, number 17 on the U.S. Billboard Alternative Airplay chart, number 21 in New Zealand, and number 46 in Ireland.
