Me and You and the World is the third studio album, and first major label release, by American acoustic rock performer Dave Barnes.

While on tour, Barnes was approached by Razor and Tie, a commercial recording label.

[2] The album features guest musicians Brooke Fraser of New Zealand on the God-centric song "Believe", Gabe Dixon on piano on "Annie", and with his band on "Someday", and "When a Heart Breaks" features Barnes' friend Matt Wertz on backing vocals.

The country-rock song "Good World Gone Bad" features Barnes' producer Ed Cash as both co-writer along with Barnes, and also on electric guitars, including contributing the guitar solo.

Any pre-orders registered received a free DVD and an additional CD to "give to the world", as Barnes noted in his blog.
