"Right to Be Wrong" is a song by English soul singer-songwriter Joss Stone from her second studio album, Mind Body & Soul (2004). Written by Stone, Desmond Child and Betty Wright, the track was released in the United Kingdom on 29 November 2004 as the album's second single. It peaked at number twenty-nine on the UK Singles Chart, where it stayed for six weeks. It was later included on the 2011 compilation album The Best of Joss Stone 2003-2009. The song was covered in Spanish by Mexican rock singer Alejandra Guzmán on her 2004 album Lipstick, retitled "Tengo Derecho a Estar Mal" (meaning "I've Got the Right to Be Wrong").

Stone performed a folk version of the song when she made a cameo appearance as herself in the third season of the American series American Dreams, in the episode "Starting Over", which aired on 30 January 2005.

The song was included on the international soundtrack of the Brazilian soap opera Como uma Onda.

Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly's David Browne says that "Right to Be Wrong, [is] a weirdly defensive song given Stone's out-of-the-gate success".[1] Yahoo's Music's Dan Gennoe called it "late night smoulder".[2]
