Born Matthew Hauri in Rochester, Minnesota, to an insomnia psychologist father, Yung Gravy began rapping for fun at college. In 2016, he quit his job to pursue rapping full time and developed his style that blends trap beats with samples of retro songs from the '50s through the '80s. Such tracks as "Mr. Clean," which samples The Chordettes' 1954 classic "Mr. Sandman," and "1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot," which borrows from Dennis Edwards' 1984 R&B hit "Don't Look Any Further," gained Yung Gravy recognition and a deal with the major-label Republic Records. "Betty (Get Money)" became the rapper's first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 when it debuted at #68 during the chart week ending of July 23, 2022. "Betty (Get Money)" samples and interpolates Rick Astley's 1988 international smash hit "Never Gonna Give You Up." Yung Gravy revamps the chorus as: Never gonna take no loss Never gonna lose my sauce All I know is chase this dough and get money Gravy flexes about his wealthy lifestyle and how he's intent on making cash in order to maintain it. Though "Betty" appears in the title, there's no girl of that name in the lyrics. Yung Gravy inserted the name as a tribute to the actress Betty White, who passed away in December 2021. Electronic musician Dillon Francis produced the track with producer/engineer Nick Seeley and Boston-based DJ Dwilly. Francis' other credits include Katy Perry's "Roar" and Panic At The Disco's "Hey Look Ma, I Made It," as well as his own hit with DJ Snake, "Get Low." The song entered charts worldwide after going viral on TikTok. Users uploaded videos incorporating the bridge: Damn Gravy you so vicious, you so clean, so delicious How come you ain't got no missus?
