"Right Left Wrong" is a song by Canadian rock[4] band Three Days Grace. It was released as the third single from their sixth studio album Outsider on November 13, 2018.[5] It was written by Neil Sanderson, Gavin Brown, Barry Stock, Brad Walst and Matt Walst.[6] It is the band's 15th song to top the Mainstream Rock chart.[7]

Background and release

Bassist Brad Walst explained the song's meaning in an interview with Global News.

"It's relative to the feeling of wanting to get away from something that's controlling your life. It's a powerful message that shines through the heaviness of the music, especially at the end, where Matt gets really ramped up. We found that the song really resonated with our fans."[8]

The song was originally released as a promotional single on March 3, 2018 and had its lyrics video premiere via VEVO that same day.[9] It was officially released as the third and final single on November 13, 2018.[10]

Awards and nominations

"Right Left Wrong" won the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada "Rock Music Award" in 2020.[11][12]
