Wrong (Depeche Mode Song)
"Wrong" is Depeche Mode's first single from their twelfth studio album, the Grammy-nominated Sounds of the Universe, and their 46th UK single overall. It hit the radio in February 2009, and became available for purchase online on 24 February 2009. The single was physically released on 6 April 2009. The 12" of the single was released on 11 May 2009.
The single officially debuted on 21 February 2009, when the band performed at the Echo Awards in Germany.
"Wrong" has received a positive response on United States alternative rock radio, becoming one of the 30 most-played songs in its first week of release.
"Wrong" was added to the BBC Radio 6 "B-List" playlist for the week starting 7 March 2009. However, a week after physical release in April 2009, it charted at #24, the lowest UK chart position for the initial single from a Depeche Mode studio album ("Dreaming of Me", while charting at #57 in 1981, was not an "official" track from the Speak & Spell album). By contrast, Sounds of the Universe itself reached #2 in the UK upon release in late April, Depeche Mode's highest album chart position there since 1997.
The B-side "Oh Well" (which also appears on the Sounds of the Universe deluxe box set edition) is the first collaboration between Martin Gore (music) and Dave Gahan (lyrics).
"Wrong" was featured in a trailer for the 2013 video game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, with the tagline, "make it right."

He’s always on the wrong side of every door,
And as soon as he’s at home, then he’d like to get about.”
