"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[edit]

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[edit]

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