Wrong (Everything but the Girl song)

"Wrong" is a song written and recorded by English musical duo Everything but the Girl. It was released on 17 June 1996, by Virgin Records, as the second single from their ninth album, Walking Wounded (1996). The song topped the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart, reached number two in Italy, and entered the top 10 in Canada, Hungary and the United Kingdom.

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "Singer Tracey Thorn thrills with a vocal that is a study in 1930s-era torch melodrama but couched with just enough pop restraint to remain accessible to pop radio's young listeners. Although Todd Terry is once again at the remix helm, 'Wrong' is not a mere exercise in duplication. This time, the keyboards are richer and the beats more insistent and African-influenced. The real duplication should be radio's quick acceptance of this pop/dance jewel." Daina Darzin from Cash Box described it as "ethereal" and "undulating". Daisy & Havoc from Music Weeks Dance Update gave it a full score of five out of five and named it Tune of the Week, adding, "Everything But The Girl's latest is creepily reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac but that's no criticism, and maybe some new mixes of tracks from Rumours aren't such a bad idea. Or maybe they are... anyway here you get Todd Terry, Deep Dish and EBTG mixes of a very lovely, very 'Missing'-type song... and that's no criticism either."
