"You lot Know You're Right" is a song by the American rock band Nirvana, written by lead vocaliser and guitarist, Kurt Cobain. Information technology is the first vocal on the band's cocky-titled greatest hits album and the final vocal the band recorded earlier Cobain'south expiry in April 1994.[1] Released officially on Oct 2, 2002 via DGC Records - viii years later the song was recorded - it is the final single credited to the ring.

Unreleased for years, the song eventually became the middle of a legal dispute between Cobain'south widow, Courtney Love, and surviving Nirvana members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, with each party wanting it for a different release. It was as well the subject of a high-contour Net leak, which led to the vocal being put into heavy rotation on radio stations around the world earlier its official release, despite end and desist orders from Nirvana's tape company, Geffen Records.

Released as a promo unmarried, "You Know You're Right" reached number one on both Billboard'south Mainstream Stone Tracks and Modern Rock Tracks charts.[2]

Origin and recording [edit]

"You Know You're Right" was written in 1993. For years after Cobain's death in April 1994, it was known only from a bootlegged live version, recorded on Oct 23, 1993, at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois, and from a performance of the vocal by the American rock band Pigsty, which featured Honey on vocals and guitar, during the band's MTV Unplugged fix on February 14, 1995.

A studio version was recorded by Adam Kasper at Nirvana's final session, on January 30, 1994 at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, Washington, merely had never appeared on bootlegs. The band had booked the studio for iii days during a tour suspension, but Cobain had been absent for the first 2 days, leaving Novoselic and Grohl to work on their own songs. Upon Cobain's arrival on the tertiary day, he immediately went to the studio's mixing console and listened to the material his bandmates had recorded, offering support.[3] Despite his apparent enthusiasm for the session, he had arrived at the studio without his gear, and ended up using a Univox guitar that the band'southward guitar technician, Ernie Bailey, had reworked for him, forth with the studio's 50 Watt Marshall amp, which he disliked, and a pedal board with a Dominate distortion pedal.[3]

The band jammed for approximately 20 minutes, and and so began working on the arrangement of "You Know Yous're Correct", then known as "Kurt's Tune #i". Co-ordinate to a May 2004 Mojo article by Gillian 1000. Gaar, the band apposite the song three times, with the structure "pretty well hashed out" on the outset take, and the chiming intro featured in the final version, achieved by Cobain playing the guitar above the nut, beginning appearing on the third take.[3] Robert Lang, the studio'south owner, recalled existence "speechless" hearing the song while in the control room with Kasper.[4]

Later on recording the chief instrumental take, the ring and others present at the recording session took a intermission away from the studio to visit a local pizzeria and for Cobain to buy cigarettes, and then returned and recorded some other instrumental song, titled "Jam Afterward Dinner".[3] Cobain then recorded the vocals to "You Know You lot're Right," completing the master vocals in one take, and and so adding ii additional vocal overdubs.[three] These were the only vocals that Cobain recorded during the session. His final contribution to the recording was a guitar overdub.[4] Novoselic and Grohl recorded six more songs without Cobain, who had likely left past and so, after signing the studio door and adding a drawing of a cat next to his signature.[3]

Nirvana's second guitarist, Pat Smear, lived in Los Angeles and was not present during the session. In a 2002 interview with the website Nirvana Fan Social club, he said Cobain had sent him a cassette of the recording and told him he could add together his office afterward. The band dissolved before Smear had the chance.[five] The ring reportedly planned to continue piece of work at Lang'south studio after their upcoming European tour, but Cobain died just over two months subsequently, after cancelling the tour and returning to Seattle.[4]

Release [edit]

Novoselic took the masters of the recordings home with him after the session, and kept them in his basement until 1998, when work began on a Nirvana box fix. Although Love'southward lawsuit in 2001 delayed the box set's release, the vocal, at present retitled "You Know You lot're Right", was mixed on July xiv and 15 of that year at Conway Studios in Hollywood, California, in anticipation of its release. According to Novoselic, the final mix does not audio significantly different from the mode it sounded when information technology was recorded in 1994, with the most dramatic changes beingness the addition of compression and reverb.[3]

"You Know You're Right" remained unreleased for years, and became the center of a legal dispute betwixt Dearest and the surviving members of Nirvana. Grohl and Novoselic had wanted the song for the planned box set. Dearest blocked its release, saying that the song would be "wasted" on a box set up, and would be amend suited to a single-disc drove like to the Beatles' compilation album 1.[vi] Her lawsuit called the song a "potential 'hitting' of boggling artistic and commercial value", and her manager asserted that a release with the song could sell 15 million copies.[7] Novoselic said he did not necessarily disagree with Love: "I've always considered everything she said. We've considered it and agreed and said, 'Hey, that'south a not bad idea, Courtney.' I tried to get along with Courtney equally all-time I could, just there'southward only so much you tin can do."[half-dozen]

In 2000, Love played the song at a private upshot in Hollywood. In Nov the following twelvemonth, Love provided a portion of the song air on the NBC television program Access Hollywood, for which she was beingness interviewed.[8] In May 2002, 4 additional clips were leaked. Grohl denied claims that the leak had come from advance copies of his heavy metal side project Probot, maxim he had never copied any version of the song for anyone.[viii]

On September 21, 2002, an unmastered MP3 of the total studio version of "You Know You're Right" leaked online. It was speedily put in rotation by a number of culling stone radio stations, which led to cease-and-desist letters being issued past Geffen. A number of stations defied the orders. The Seattle radio station 107.seven The End posted a banner on their website that announced: "We took your due east-mails and flooded the server at Geffen Records with tons of choice words about their 'Yous Know You lot're Correct' cease and desist guild. Due to the huge publicity outcry, the label has released the rails. Hear NEW Nirvana all this weekend, just on 107.seven The End."[9]

In belatedly September, Beloved, Grohl and Novoselic released a joint statement announcing that the lawsuit had been settled, and that "Y'all Know Yous're Correct" would be officially released on the Nirvana greatest hits anthology subsequently that year.[4] It was eventually released as a promo unmarried, with a music video directed by Chris Hafner. The song was re-released on Nirvana's second greatest hits compilation, Icon, in 2010.

Composition [edit]

"You Know You're Right" is an alternative rock song that lasts for a duration of three minutes and thirty-seven seconds.[10] According to the canvas music published at Sheet Music Plus by EMI Music Publishing, it is written in the time signature of common time, with a moderately boring tempo of 84 beats per minute.[10] "You Know You're Right" is composed in the key of F minor, while Kurt Cobain's vocal range spans one octave and three notes.[10] The song follows a basic sequence of Fv–D ♭ –E ♭ in the verses and pre-chorus and is mainly restricted to a dawdling chord of Ffive throughout the refrain as its chord progression.[ten]

Release and reception [edit]

"You lot Know You're Right" became Nirvana'due south fourth song to enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 45.[xi] It was the band's fifth song to accomplish number one on the Billboard Modernistic Rock Tracks chart,[12] where it remained for iv consecutive weeks, the longest of whatever Nirvana song.[13] With an increment of 1,616 spins, Nirvana also bankrupt the record for the largest detected bound by an act already on the chart.[thirteen] It too became Nirvana'southward first vocal to meridian the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks nautical chart, beating their previous pinnacle of number three, achieved past both "Come every bit You Are" in April 1992 and "Near A Girl" in December 1994.[fourteen]

Amy McAuliffe from BBC called the song "a poignant reminder of what might have been" and described it as "listening to a dead man snarling out his last gasp of righteous sarcasm."[15] Will Hermes of Spin remarked that it was "amazing how a merely good Nirvana song yet scorches everything inside earshot."[xvi] David Samuels of Slate wrote that "unlike most post-mortem stone releases, 'You Know You're Right' is not B-side material or the result of recording studio wizardry—it's a real Nirvana song" that showed that "Cobain was at the peak of his powers as a vocalist and songwriter—the most gifted and popular writer that stone music had seen since Lennon/McCartney."[17] Likewise, Larry Flint from Billboard stated, "Different near previously unreleased cuts tacked onto best-of sets, 'You Know You're Correct' is a potent add-on to Nirvana'due south cache of classic material."[18]

"You Know You lot're Right" was ranked at the fifth best single of the yr past Spin, with Charles Aaron calling it a "gnarly little centre-shaped box crammed with feedback, bile, and a gut-shredding chorus."[19] In 2002, the vocal received a BDS Spin Award for l,000 radio spins in the United states of america,[20] and in 2003 it received a BDS award for 100,000 radio spins in the US.[21]

In 2011, it was ranked at number two on NME's list of the 10 best Nirvana songs.[22] In 2015, Rolling Rock listed it at number 21 on their ranking of 102 Nirvana songs.[23] The song's producer, Adam Kasper, called it "1 of their best songs, probably in the Elevation 10."[4]

Grohl reflected on the song in a 2019 interview with The Guardian, telling interviewer Eve Barlow that "I listened to information technology for the kickoff time in 10 years. Oh God, it's difficult to listen to. It was not a pleasant time for the band. Kurt was unwell. Then he was well. And then he was unwell. The last year of the band was tough." In addition to calling the lyrics "heartbreaking" in retrospect, Grohl added that "I used to think information technology sounded like [Cobain] was singing the chorus. At present I listen to it and it's like he'southward wailing."[24]

In May 2020, American managing director Cameron Crowe revealed in an interview with Stereogum that he had hidden the studio recording of "You Know You're Right," given to him by Love, in his film Vanilla Sky, which was released almost a year prior to the song's official release. "Nosotros couldn't credit it in the motion-picture show and it was actually illegal," Crowe explained, "merely Courtney Love gave it to us. She said, 'This is the simply Nirvana song that's never been released. Hide it in your movie somewhere.'[25]

Championship [edit]

"Yous Know You're Correct" did not have an official title at the time of Cobain'south death in April 1994. Co-ordinate to Gaar's 2002 Mojo article, it was listed just as "Kurt'south Melody #ane" on the tracking sheets from the Robert Lang Studios recording session.[3] In 1995, it was performed as "You've Got No Right" by Hole at their MTV Unplugged appearance, and this title was most commonly used by fans prior to the release of the anthology Nirvana in 2002.

In the liner notes to Nirvana, Rolling Stone writer David Fricke erroneously states that the song had gone under the previous titles of "Autopilot" and "On a Mount". The latter title was likewise cited by Charles Cross in his 2001 Cobain biography, Heavier Than Heaven.[26] : 306 These names were actually invented by bootleggers who had misheard Grohl's comment at the get-go of the live version. Grohl had announced, "This is our last song; it's called 'All Apologies'",[27] unaware that Cobain had already started playing "You Know Yous're Right". Due to the relatively poor fidelity of the live recording, bootleggers believed Grohl had introduced the new song, and tried to interpret what they thought was its championship. Cantankerous also seems to misrepresent the lyrics in Heavier Than Heaven, citing the lyric, "I am walking in the piss," which appears in Hole's 1995 version of the song, but in no known Nirvana recording.[26] : 306, 381

Music video [edit]

A music video for "You Know You're Right" was released in Oct 2002. Directed by Chris Hafner, it features a montage of ring footage, drawn generally from live performances and interviews, occasionally edited to give the event of the song beingness performed.[28] The video peaked at number ii of the Billboard Video Monitor, a chart of the near-played clips every bit monitored by the Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems, for the week ending October 20, 2002.[29]
