You and Me Against the World is a song written by Kenny Ascher and Paul Williams, recorded by Helen Reddy for her 1974 album Love Song for Jeffrey. You and Me Against the World was the first song written by Kenny Ascher and Paul Williams and began as a gag song: Williams and Ascher, a member of Williamss band, had a discussion about their favorite songwriters which led to the spontaneous composition of a song on the subject whose tune, Ascher then realized, had real hit potential. Williams himself debuted You and Me Against the World on his 1974 album Here Comes Inspiration, singing it as a traditional love ballad. Helen Reddy considered the songs lyrics too paternalistic to be convincing as a womans declaration of love for a man; instead, she interpreted the song as a mother singing to a child, which her version clarified by her daughter Tracis speaking to Mommy at the start and end.[1]
