No.
Who's.
Contractions must have an apostrophe. "Who has" got your back is the full sentence, so the apostrophe must take the place of the "ha" in "has." Who's.
"Whose" is possessive, as in, "Whose back do you have?" "I have his back."
Also, if you want it to be grammatically correct throughout, it should be "I've got your back," not "I got your back," even though the latter is fine colloquially.

I agree with the guys. As I see it we are saying Who Has, in which case the apostrophe comes into play after who and before the s. therefore who's got your back ?.
Just feels right.

Me instituto se llama (my college call) Hay 500 alumnos y hay 250 profesores. Hay cinco clases al día. Llevo uniforme, no me gusta mi uniforme porque es antipático. Los Lunes y los jueves voy al club de teatro y los martes voy a l. a. biblioteca. Estudio dibujo, Español, Ingles, educación física e historia. No me gusta mi instituto porque es aburrido y tonto!

It should be "who's", which in this instance is a contraction of "who has" and should have the apostrophe in it. Otherwise, it is spelled correctly, but it's slang nevertheless. In formal English you wouldn't say "who has got", but for your team, it's allowed.

No, it is not spelled right. It should be who's with an apostrophe because it is a combination of "who" and "has"
It would not be "whose" because that implies possession as in "whose socks are these?"

It's "Who's."
The motto would actually be, "who has got your back?" But it sounds normal with "who has" as a contraction, so it would be, "Who's got your back?"

'Who's' is a contraction for 'who has' b/c you're really saying 'Who has got your back?'
maybe instead say 'who has your back?'
