"You And I" is a song written by Dennis Wilson, his former wife Karen Lamm-Wilson and close friend Gregg Jakobson. It was released as the eighth track on Dennis Wilson's 1977 début solo album Pacific Ocean Blue. The song was released as a single in the United States with the B-side being "Friday Night". In Europe however, "River Song" was chosen as the A-side and "Farewell My Friend" as the B-side. The single, just as the single in Europe did, failed to chart. The track, as with the rest of the album, was credited as being produced by Dennis Wilson and his close friend Gregg Jakobson. Dennis Wilson sings the lead vocal on this and every other track on the album.

According to Dennis the song "is about Karen and myself, that's it."[1]
