«Fuck You» (also known as the working title «Guess Who Batman») is a song by English singer Lily Allen from her second album It’s Not Me, It’s You. It is her third international single.

The song originally appeared on Allen’s Myspace page in 2008 alongside the songs «I Could Say» and «I Don’t Know» (now known as «The Fear») under the title «Guess Who Batman». Despite its titular reference to the caped crusader, according to NME and Rolling Stone magazines the song is an anti-George W. Bush protest, while another source the Urban Review states that it was originally inspired by the right-wing British National Party, adding Allen now «feels the track is relevant everywhere now so has removed a particular target.»

At the 2009 Glastonbury Festival prior to performing the song, Allen made reference to the elections to the European parliament that had commenced 3 weeks earlier in which the British National Party gained their first ever representative seats, citing this as a reason to sing the song. The song was written by Lily Allen and Greg Kurstin. Lily Allen wrote:
«We are the youth, we can make coolness for our future, it’s up to us. Go green and hate hate»
