"I Might Be Wrong" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, released as the second single from their fifth studio album Amnesiac (2001) on 4 June 2001.
Although the album version is heavily produced by Nigel Godrich and Radiohead, with a more electronic texture, "I Might Be Wrong" is one of the more guitar-oriented songs on Amnesiac. The song uses a blues riff written by Jonny Greenwood, in Drop D tuning. The guitar riff has a repetitive and looping quality, partly the result of the slides to reach some notes and the pull-offs. The song also contains multiple ondes Martenot tracks.
In the United States, it was released as a radio-only single in advance of the album. "Pyramid Song" was the official first single in all other regions, and the "Pyramid Song" video was also released worldwide.
The song was first played live as a set-closer in Villa Reale in Milan, Italy, on 19 June 2000, and has become a live favourite. A live version of the song appears on Radiohead's 2001 live album, which is called I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings. It has also often been played in an acoustic version by Thom Yorke. The song was also used in the official commercial ad campaign for the 2002 Winter Olympics.
The song charted at #27 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
Even though "I Might Be Wrong" was not released as a single outside of the United States, two music videos were produced for it. One, released only on the Internet, was available during the Amnesiac era on Radiohead's official site, now offline. The director of the video, Chris Bran, released the music video on his official website shortly after the website was shut down, and can be found in this reference
