The arrangement is good and had potential to make it a powerful dance song...the composition is what really lacks here...I don't feel a summer energy here, just an attempt of turning a (very) cliche anime opening track into a failed rival of "We Found Love". Both songs are repetitive but WFL at least makes you feel like kicking the dust out of the floor and has a good build up and delivers it well with the chorus...You & Me doesn't, and has the common bad jpop habit of attaching pieces, being the verses one song and the chorus a completely different song. Also, there are parts in which the song turns a bit tacky because it gets that olympics cheering "Born to be..." feel; It worked somewhat for BTB... because it was indeed adressed to olympic games but really gets quite tackey in You & Me. LOL
