"Betty (Get Money)", also referred to as just "Betty",[1] is a song by American rapper Yung Gravy, released through Republic Records on June 10, 2022, as the lead single from his upcoming third studio album, Marvelous. It was written by Yung Gravy and produced by Nick Seeley, Dillon Francis and Dwilly, along with the credit for its prominent sample of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up".[2] The song and its music video, featuring Yung Gravy dancing in a white fur coat, went viral on TikTok shortly after its release, being used in over 100,000 videos.[3]

Background[]

"Betty (Get Money)" is the second song by Yung Gravy to receive viral attention on TikTok, with his 2020 track "Oops!" also seeing some success on the application.[1] Of the over 100,000 videos made since its June 2022 release, many include the bridge "Damn Gravy you so vicious, you so clean, so delicious / How come you ain't got no missus?"[1] The song samples both the synthesizer and chorus from English singer Rick Astley's Stock Aitken Waterman-written and produced 1987 song "Never Gonna Give You Up", and thus credits the trio and Astley as songwriters.[2]

Music video[]

The music video, released alongside the song on June 10, 2022, also saw viral attention. It includes "fake backdrops, turtlenecks, and a groovy two-step".[2]
