“Me and Michael” is the fourth single from MGMT’s fourth studio album, Little Dark Age. It was released on February 7, 2018, alongside a conceptual music video which depicts Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser plagiarizing a fictional song called “Ako at si Michael” by a real band from The Philippines called TrueFaith.

According to a 2018 interview with Q Magazine, the song was inspired by the band’s love for European synth pop, apropos of its 80s-infused balladry. A Billboard article released shortly after the video’s release confirmed that the song’s original title was “Me and My Girl” until they decided it was too “boring and cheesy.”
