## Background

In an interview with *Vibe*, Vinz said, "We wrote it because of the topic: being at the crossroad, having faith in your dreams and trusting your gut feelings. We played it for people and they thought it was their favorite song but weren't sure if it would do well on the radio. If everyone likes it, then what's the problem?"

To MTV News, Nico stated, "We sat down in the studio and we said 'we don't care what people say, we are gonna follow our gut feeling, we're gonna do what we want to do and believe in ourselves, so, we sat there and asked ourselves the questions, am I wrong? For thinking we can become this for real? Am I trippin' for having this vision? I'm gonna be on top of the world.'"

**Lyrics**
[Intro]

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1: Vinz]

Am I wrong for thinkin' out the box from where I stay?

Am I wrong for sayin' that I choose another way?

I ain't tryin' to do what everybody else doin'

Just 'cause everybody doin' what they all do

If one thing I know, I'll fall, but I'll grow

I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home

[Chorus: Vinz]

So, am I wrong? (Woo)

For thinkin' that we could be something for real?

Now, am I wrong?

For tryin' to reach the things that I can't see?

But that's just how I feel (Ooh, ooh)

That's just how I feel (Ooh, ooh)

That's just how I feel

Trying to reach the things that I can't see (Ooh, ooh)

[Verse 2: Nico]

Am I trippin' for having a vision?

My prediction, I'ma be on top of the world

Walk your walk and don't look back

Always do what you decide

Don't let them control your life

That's just how I feel, oh-ooh-woah

Fight for yours, and don't let go

Don't let them compare you, no

Don't worry, you're not alone

That's just how we feel

[Chorus: Vinz]

Am I wrong? (Am I wrong?)

For thinkin' that we could be something for real?

(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

Now, am I wrong? (Am I wrong?)

For tryin' to reach the things that I can't see?

(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

But that's just how I feel (Ooh, ooh)

That's just how I feel (Ooh, ooh)

That's just how I feel

Trying to reach the things that I can't see (Ooh, ooh)

[Bridge: Nico]

If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong

I don't wanna be right, right

If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong

I don't wanna be right

If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong (Now, if you tell me I'm wrong)

I don't wanna be right, right

If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong

I don't wanna be right

[Chorus: Vinz]

Am I wrong?

For thinkin' that we could be something for real?

Now, am I wrong?

For tryin' to reach the things that I can't see?

But that's just how I feel (Ooh, ooh)

That's just how I feel (Ooh, ooh)

That's just how I feel

Trying to reach the things that I can't see (Ooh, ooh)

So, am I wrong? (Am I wrong?)

For thinkin' that we could be something for real?

(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

Now, am I wrong? (Am I wrong?)

For trying to reach the things that I can't see?

(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

But that's just how I feel (Ooh, ooh)

That's just how I feel (Ooh, ooh)

That's just how I feel

Trying to reach the things that I can't see (Ooh, ooh)

[Outro]

Woah
