"Where Did I Go Wrong?" comes off UB40's self-titled 1988 album, and it's a strictly in-house job: the band wrote it, arranged it and produced it themselves alongside John Shaw, who also engineered and mixed the session with them.
That self-reliance shows in the feel, an unhurried, rolling groove that sounds like a band completely at home in its own sound, with a title that asks a heartsick question over something you can sway to.
