"Am I Right" came out on Mute in November 1991, the third single pulled from Chorus, the fifth Erasure album, and it finds Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, who wrote it together, slowing right down for a ballad. Martyn Phillips produced and David Bascombe mixed, and the synths have a warm, old-fashioned glow.
AllMusic's Ned Raggett heard a song musing on love and getting older, set to a gentle, soft hip-hop beat; Germany's Bravo gave it full marks, and the Daily Vault's Michael R. Smith named it his favorite Erasure ballad. It reached 15 in the UK and made the top 10 in Ireland, and the video was shot in the Netherlands.
