How do I create a button from javascript the right way

A beginners question.

I'm trying to add a button to an html document with no content.

In Chrome nothing shows up, but in the console there are no errors and I can find both btn with it's content and the div.

What's going on?

const div = document.createElement("div");
const btn = document.createElement("button");
btn.innerText = "Click me";
div.appendChild(btn);

btn.addEventListener("click", function() {
  body.style.backgroundColor("red");
});
<body>
  <script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
