"I Might Be Wrong" comes from Amnesiac, the fifth Radiohead album, which EMI released on 30 May 2001. It grew out of the same sessions with producer Nigel Godrich that yielded Kid A the year before; the band split the haul in two because a double album felt too dense.

The writing credit is split five ways, among Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien and Philip Selway. Yorke sings, Jonny Greenwood plays guitar, keyboards and the ondes Martenot, O'Brien adds guitar and backing vocals, Colin Greenwood plays bass and Selway handles drums and percussion. Godrich produced it with the band and engineered and mixed it himself, with Gerard Navarro and Graeme Stewart assisting. "Pyramid Song" and "Knives Out" were the proper singles, but this one went out as a promotional single and got a music video of its own.
