"Right or Wrong" is a jazz ballad from 1921. Composed by Arthur Sizemore and Paul Biese, with words by Haven Gillespie, it is described by the original sheet music as "a beautiful fox-trot ballad."[1]
The lyrics tell of the loss of a paramour. The title comes from a refrain in the chorus:
Right or wrong, I'll always love you
Tho' you're gone, I can't forget
Right or wrong, I'll keep on dreaming
Tho' I wake with that same old regret
All along I knew I'd lose you
Still I pray'd that you'd be true
In your heart, please just remember
Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you
