"Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" was the Spin Doctors' first single, sent out by Epic in October 1992 from their debut album Pocket Full of Kryptonite, which had been out since 1991. It's a kiss-off to a demanding woman who never owns up to anything, and plenty of listeners assumed it was about an old girlfriend. Chris Barron has said otherwise: he was writing about his stepmother.

All four members share the credit. Barron sings, Eric Schenkman's guitar skips and struts, Mark White's bass bounces, and Aaron Comess drums, adds Hammond organ and percussion and chips in backing vocals. Peter Denenberg and Frankie LaRocka produced and mixed with the band, keeping it loose and funky. The single climbed to 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, went all the way to two on the Album Rock Tracks chart, and made the top five in New Zealand.
