"Wrong" is a debut single by American rapper Luh Kel, released on April 5, 2019.[1] It gained recognition through the video-sharing app TikTok, becoming his breakout hit, and is the lead single from his debut studio album Mixed Emotions (2019).

Background

In an interview with Genius, Luh Kel stated:

So, I was in the living room and I was actually genuinely talking about a girl. And it was about me showing my affection to her. See, but while I was making the little video, I got a call. And they had told me, they was like, "Yeah, your girlfriend here doing this, dah, dah, dah." So, I'm like, "Aight." Then I got sad, I got mad, you hear me.

Luh Kel initially recorded "Wrong" only for Instagram and did not plan for it to be a song. But when it started attracting attention, he took it to the studio and received the beat from Bubba Got Beats.[2]

According to him, he teased the song for seven months, lying about when it would be released until he was ready to do so.[3] The song found popularity via a dance challenge on TikTok, which largely helped Kel to prominence.[4]

Remix
