Something's Always Wrong

"Something's Always Wrong" is a single by American alternative rock band Toad the Wet Sprocket. The song is included on their fourth studio album, Dulcinea (1994). "Something's Always Wrong" was co-written by Glen Phillips and Todd Nichols. Although not as popular as "Fall Down", "Something's Always Wrong" became a chart hit in the United States and Canada.

Background
Singer Glen Phillips said, "'Something's Always Wrong' is an amalgam of a whole bunch of relational observations. Todd had that music and the only line he had was, 'Something has gone wrong.' And I kind of lifted that and switched it. As a person who struggles a lot with depression and negative ideation, for me that's the state I'm always swimming upstream against: that feeling that something's wrong. It's usually based on a true story, but it's almost never the whole story."

Chart performance
"Something's Always Wrong" was a hit, although not to the extent of "Fall Down." The single peaked at number nine on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The single also peaked at number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 15 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart. The single helped to make Dulcinea Toad the Wet Sprocket's first top-forty album on the Billboard 200.
