Origin and recording [edit]
"You Know You're Correct" was written in 1993. For years after Cobain'south decease in April 1994, it was known just from a bootlegged alive version, recorded on October 23, 1993, at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois, and from a operation of the song by the American rock ring Pigsty, which featured Love on vocals and guitar, during the band's MTV Unplugged ready on February 14, 1995.
A studio version was recorded by Adam Kasper at Nirvana's last session, on January 30, 1994 at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, Washington, but had never appeared on bootlegs. The band had booked the studio for three days during a tour intermission, but Cobain had been absent for the outset two days, leaving Novoselic and Grohl to work on their ain songs. Upon Cobain'southward arrival on the tertiary day, he immediately went to the studio's mixing console and listened to the material his bandmates had recorded, offering support.[3] Despite his apparent enthusiasm for the session, he had arrived at the studio without his gear, and concluded up using a Univox guitar that the ring's guitar technician, Ernie Bailey, had reworked for him, along with the studio's 50 Watt Marshall amp, which he disliked, and a pedal board with a Boss distortion pedal.[3]
The ring jammed for approximately xx minutes, and then began working on the organization of "You Know Yous're Right", so known as "Kurt's Tune #1". According to a May 2004 Mojo commodity past Gillian K. Gaar, the band rehearsed the song three times, with the structure "pretty well hashed out" on the get-go take, and the chiming intro featured in the last version, achieved past Cobain playing the guitar above the nut, beginning appearing on the third take.[3] Robert Lang, the studio's owner, recalled existence "speechless" hearing the song while in the control room with Kasper.[4]
After recording the master instrumental take, the band and others present at the recording session took a break away from the studio to visit a local pizzeria and for Cobain to purchase cigarettes, and then returned and recorded another instrumental song, titled "Jam After Dinner".[iii] Cobain so recorded the vocals to "Y'all Know You're Right," completing the main vocals in ane take, and then adding 2 additional vocal overdubs.[3] These were the only vocals that Cobain recorded during the session. His last contribution to the recording was a guitar overdub.[4] Novoselic and Grohl recorded six more than songs without Cobain, who had likely left by then, afterwards signing the studio door and adding a drawing of a cat next to his signature.[iii]
Nirvana'due south 2d guitarist, Pat Smear, lived in Los Angeles and was non nowadays during the session. In a 2002 interview with the website Nirvana Fan Order, he said Cobain had sent him a cassette of the recording and told him he could add together his part later. The ring dissolved before Smear had the hazard.[5] The band reportedly planned to continue work at Lang's studio afterward their upcoming European bout, but Cobain died but over two months later, after cancelling the bout and returning to Seattle.[4]
Release [edit]
Novoselic took the masters of the recordings home with him subsequently the session, and kept them in his basement until 1998, when work began on a Nirvana box set. Although Love's lawsuit in 2001 delayed the box gear up'southward release, the song, at present retitled "You Know You're Right", was mixed on July 14 and 15 of that year at Conway Studios in Hollywood, California, in anticipation of its release. According to Novoselic, the final mix does not sound significantly dissimilar from the manner it sounded when it was recorded in 1994, with the most dramatic changes existence the improver of compression and reverb.[3]
"You Know Y'all're Right" remained unreleased for years, and became the middle of a legal dispute between Love and the surviving members of Nirvana. Grohl and Novoselic had wanted the song for the planned box fix. Dearest blocked its release, proverb that the song would be "wasted" on a box set, and would be improve suited to a unmarried-disc drove similar to the Beatles' compilation album 1.[6] Her lawsuit called the vocal a "potential 'hit' of extraordinary creative and commercial value", and her manager asserted that a release with the song could sell 15 1000000 copies.[7] Novoselic said he did not necessarily disagree with Beloved: "I've always considered everything she said. We've considered it and agreed and said, 'Hey, that'south a nifty idea, Courtney.' I tried to get along with Courtney as best I could, but in that location's only so much you can do."[six]
In 2000, Dearest played the vocal at a private consequence in Hollywood. In November the following twelvemonth, Love provided a portion of the song air on the NBC television program Access Hollywood, for which she was existence interviewed.[viii] In May 2002, four additional clips were leaked. Grohl denied claims that the leak had come from advance copies of his heavy metal side project Probot, saying he had never copied any version of the song for anyone.[8]
On September 21, 2002, an unmastered MP3 of the full studio version of "Y'all Know You're Right" leaked online. It was quickly put in rotation by a number of culling stone radio stations, which led to cease-and-desist messages existence issued by Geffen. A number of stations defied the orders. The Seattle radio station 107.vii The Cease posted a banner on their website that announced: "We took your e-mails and flooded the server at Geffen Records with tons of pick words about their 'Y'all Know You're Correct' stop and desist order. Due to the huge publicity outcry, the characterization has released the track. Hear NEW Nirvana all this weekend, but on 107.vii The Finish."[9]
In late September, Love, Grohl and Novoselic released a joint statement announcing that the lawsuit had been settled, and that "You Know You're Right" would be officially released on the Nirvana greatest hits anthology later that year.[4] It was eventually released as a promo unmarried, with a music video directed by Chris Hafner. The song was re-released on Nirvana's 2nd greatest hits compilation, Icon, in 2010.

Amy McAuliffe from BBC called the song "a poignant reminder of what might have been" and described it as "listening to a expressionless man snarling out his last gasp of righteous sarcasm."[15] Will Hermes of Spin remarked that it was "astonishing how a but good Nirvana song still scorches everything within earshot."[xvi] David Samuels of Slate wrote that "dissimilar most mail-mortem rock releases, 'Yous Know Yous're Right' is not B-side fabric or the result of recording studio wizardry—it's a real Nirvana song" that showed that "Cobain was at the meridian of his powers as a vocalist and songwriter—the most gifted and popular writer that stone music had seen since Lennon/McCartney."[17] Likewise, Larry Flintstone from Billboard stated, "Dissimilar most previously unreleased cuts tacked onto best-of sets, 'You Know Yous're Correct' is a potent addition to Nirvana's enshroud of classic material."[eighteen]
"Y'all Know Yous're Right" was ranked at the 5th best single of the year by Spin, with Charles Aaron calling it a "gnarly petty heart-shaped box crammed with feedback, bile, and a gut-shredding chorus."[19] In 2002, the song received a BDS Spin Award for 50,000 radio spins in the US,[20] and in 2003 it received a BDS award for 100,000 radio spins in the US.[21]

Grohl reflected on the song in a 2019 interview with The Guardian, telling interviewer Eve Barlow that "I listened to it for the commencement time in 10 years. Oh God, it's hard to heed to. Information technology was not a pleasant time for the band. Kurt was unwell. Then he was well. Then he was unwell. The last year of the band was tough." In addition to calling the lyrics "heartbreaking" in retrospect, Grohl added that "I used to think information technology sounded like [Cobain] was singing the chorus. At present I heed to information technology and information technology's similar he's wailing."[24]
In May 2020, American director Cameron Crowe revealed in an interview with Stereogum that he had hidden the studio recording of "You Know You lot're Right," given to him by Love, in his moving-picture show Vanilla Sky, which was released almost a twelvemonth prior to the song's official release. "We couldn't credit it in the movie and it was really illegal," Crowe explained, "simply Courtney Love gave it to us. She said, 'This is the simply Nirvana vocal that's never been released. Hibernate it in your movie somewhere.'[25]
Title [edit]
"You Know You lot're Right" did not take an official title at the fourth dimension of Cobain's death in Apr 1994.

In the liner notes to Nirvana, Rolling Stone writer David Fricke erroneously states that the vocal had gone nether the previous titles of "Autopilot" and "On a Mount". The latter title was also cited by Charles Cross in his 2001 Cobain biography, Heavier Than Heaven.[26] : 306 These names were actually invented by bootleggers who had misheard Grohl's comment at the outset of the live version. Grohl had announced, "This is our terminal vocal; information technology's called 'All Apologies'",[27] unaware that Cobain had already started playing "You Know You're Correct". Due to the relatively poor fidelity of the live recording, bootleggers believed Grohl had introduced the new song, and tried to interpret what they thought was its title. Cantankerous likewise seems to misrepresent the lyrics in Heavier Than Heaven, citing the lyric, "I am walking in the piss," which appears in Hole'southward 1995 version of the vocal, but in no known Nirvana recording.[26] : 306, 381
