You Were Right

"You Were Right" is the lead single from Rüfüs Du Sol's second album, Bloom (2016). The mellow dance track finds lead vocalist Tyrone Lindqvist trying to make amends with his former flame after he realizes they're meant to be together. "You were right, I know I can't get enough of you," he repeatedly sings.

The warm vibe of the summery love song has an underlying chill of melancholy as Lindqvist doesn't know if his romantic efforts are in vain. The clashing tones are a result of a frigid German winter colliding with a scorching Australian summer. For Bloom, the Aussie alternative-dance trio took inspiration from the techno clubs they visited in Germany during a songwriting stint in Berlin. The cold weather kept them locked indoors, where they crafted songs based on the electronic music that excited them. Months later, returning home to sunny Sydney was a shock to the senses. Lindqvist told Spin in 2015: "Coming home to summer in Sydney, being surrounded by the familiarity of everything that being home entails, we were suddenly approaching songwriting in a different way, both technically and emotionally. We were able to unlock a different side to our writing."

The album takes its name from this song's chorus, where Lindqvist admits his mistakes and hopes their relationship can flourish in spite of them: "Leave it all to bloom."
