"Wrong" is a song written and recorded by English musical duo Everything but the Girl. It was released on 17 June 1996 as the second single from their album, Walking Wounded. A club remix of the song provided by Todd Terry went to number-one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. The remix also reached number two in Italy and number eight in Canada and the United Kingdom.

Critical reception[]

Daisy & Havoc from Music Week's Dance Update rated "Wrong" five out of five, picking it as Tune of the Week. They added, "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."[1]
