"Why Not Us" is a song recorded by German pop trio Monrose. It was written by English songwriters Alexis Strum and Guy Chambers and produced by the latter along with frequent Monrose collaborator Pete Kirtley for the band's third studio album I Am (2008). A midtempo contemporary R&B-pop ballad with soft electro pop elements, "Why Not Us" is about a tumbling relationship which ultimately breaks up.
The song was released by Starwatch Music as the album's third and final single on 28 November 2008. It debuted and peaked at number 27 in Germany, becoming the group's lowest-charting single up to then, and failed to reach the upper half of the Austrian Singles Chart. An accompanying music video, directed by Markus Gerwinat, was filmed at the Orangery Palace in the Sanssouci Park of Potsdam.
