Songfacts®:

  • "Wrongs" is a collaboration between D-Block Europe and New York rapper Lil Tjay. The artists rap about a partner who was "tryna do me wrong" while they were committed to the relationship.
  • The track lives firmly in D-Block Europe's signature trapwave sound: half-sung, half-rapped verses that drift through clouds of AutoTune over a minimalist, melancholic trap beat.
  • Lil Tjay's verse brings a New York tint to the heartbreak; he raps about being "chosen" despite his rough start as a "trench kid," offering up his usual blend of wounded pride and survivor's swagger. He explored the same emotional territory on earlier tracks like "In My Head," the sound of someone who's been bruised by love but still can't resist the risk.
  • Young Adz and Dirtbike LB's verse takes a more aggressive approach to the treachery. Their verse balances betrayal with bravado: high-end cars, whispered regrets and the occasional reminder that love can hurt.
  • "Wrongs" likely borrows from lived emotion rather than recounting an actual betrayal. D-Block's songs are autobiographical enough to feel real but ambiguous enough to make you wonder whose heart took the hit. "Wrongs" is emotionally honest, but not necessarily literally true.
  • Frequent D-Block Europe producers Harry Beech and Eight8 created the beat. The pair have also worked with Central Cee, including his collaborations with Raye ("Moi") and 21 Savage ("GBP").
