White Reaper went for the arena on "Might Be Right", the lead single from their third album, You Deserve Love, released in May 2019 on Elektra. Jay Joyce produced and mixed it, and the band leans all the way into shiny, vintage rock-radio muscle: Tony Esposito's hooky vocal, guitars from Esposito and Hunter Thompson tangling in harmony, Ryan Hater's keyboards glinting on top, and Nick and Sam Wilkerson driving the rhythm.
It became the band's first song to chart at all, and it didn't stop there: it went all the way to the top of Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart in February 2020, and when Billboard marked 25 years of its Adult Alternative Airplay chart, it placed the song at number 83 among the 100 biggest in that chart's history.
