Unreleased for years, the song eventually became the center of a legal dispute between Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, and surviving Nirvana members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, with each party wanting it for a different release. It was also the subject of a loftier-contour Internet leak, which led to the song existence put into heavy rotation on radio stations around the world earlier its official release, despite cease and desist orders from Nirvana'southward tape company, Geffen Records.
Released every bit a promo single, "Y'all Know You lot're Right" reached number i on both Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks and Mod Rock Tracks charts.[2]
Origin and recording [edit]
"You Know You're Right" was written in 1993. For years after Cobain's death in April 1994, information technology was known but from a bootlegged alive version, recorded on October 23, 1993, at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois, and from a performance of the song by the American stone band Hole, which featured Love on vocals and guitar, during the band's MTV Unplugged set on Feb 14, 1995.
A studio version was recorded by Adam Kasper at Nirvana'southward last session, on Jan xxx, 1994 at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, Washington, but had never appeared on bootlegs. The band had booked the studio for iii days during a tour interruption, but Cobain had been absent-minded for the first two days, leaving Novoselic and Grohl to work on their own songs. Upon Cobain's inflow on the third day, he immediately went to the studio's mixing console and listened to the material his bandmates had recorded, offering support.[iii] Despite his credible enthusiasm for the session, he had arrived at the studio without his gear, and concluded upwards using a Univox guitar that the band's guitar technician, Ernie Bailey, had reworked for him, forth with the studio's 50 Watt Marshall amp, which he disliked, and a pedal board with a Boss distortion pedal.[3]
The band jammed for approximately 20 minutes, and and then began working on the organisation of "You lot Know You're Right", and so known every bit "Kurt's Melody #1". According to a May 2004 Mojo article by Gillian Chiliad. Gaar, the ring rehearsed the song 3 times, with the structure "pretty well hashed out" on the first take, and the chiming intro featured in the final version, achieved by Cobain playing the guitar higher up the nut, kickoff appearing on the third take.[3] Robert Lang, the studio's owner, recalled existence "speechless" hearing the song while in the command room with Kasper.[4]
After recording the master instrumental take, the band and others nowadays at the recording session took a break away from the studio to visit a local pizzeria and for Cobain to buy cigarettes, so returned and recorded another instrumental song, titled "Jam After Dinner".[3] Cobain then recorded the vocals to "You lot Know You're Right," completing the main vocals in one take, and so adding 2 boosted song overdubs.[3] These were the only vocals that Cobain recorded during the session. His final contribution to the recording was a guitar overdub.[4] Novoselic and Grohl recorded six more songs without Cobain, who had likely left by then, subsequently signing the studio door and adding a drawing of a cat adjacent to his signature.[3]
Nirvana'southward second guitarist, Pat Smear, lived in Los Angeles and was non present during the session. In a 2002 interview with the website Nirvana Fan Gild, he said Cobain had sent him a cassette of the recording and told him he could add together his part later. The band dissolved before Smear had the gamble.[five] The band reportedly planned to continue work at Lang's studio later their upcoming European bout, just Cobain died but over two months later, after cancelling the tour and returning to Seattle.[4]
Release [edit]
Novoselic took the masters of the recordings home with him after the session, and kept them in his basement until 1998, when work began on a Nirvana box set. Although Love's lawsuit in 2001 delayed the box set's release, the vocal, at present retitled "You Know You're Correct", was mixed on July xiv and 15 of that year at Conway Studios in Hollywood, California, in anticipation of its release. According to Novoselic, the last mix does non audio significantly different from the way it sounded when it was recorded in 1994, with the near dramatic changes being the addition of compression and reverb.[three]
"Yous Know Y'all're Right" remained unreleased for years, and became the centre of a legal dispute between Honey and the surviving members of Nirvana. Grohl and Novoselic had wanted the song for the planned box set. Love blocked its release, maxim that the song would exist "wasted" on a box set, and would exist improve suited to a single-disc drove similar to the Beatles' compilation anthology i.[half-dozen] Her lawsuit called the song a "potential 'hit' of extraordinary artistic and commercial value", and her managing director asserted that a release with the song could sell 15 million copies.[7] Novoselic said he did non necessarily disagree with Love: "I've always considered everything she said. We've considered it and agreed and said, 'Hey, that's a bully idea, Courtney.' I tried to go along with Courtney every bit best I could, but there's only so much you tin can practice."[6]
In 2000, Love played the song at a private upshot in Hollywood. In November the following year, Love provided a portion of the song air on the NBC television program Access Hollywood, for which she was being interviewed.[8] In May 2002, four boosted clips were leaked. Grohl denied claims that the leak had come from accelerate copies of his heavy metallic side project Probot, saying he had never copied any version of the song for anyone.[viii]
On September 21, 2002, an unmastered MP3 of the full studio version of "You lot Know You're Right" leaked online. It was quickly put in rotation past a number of alternative rock radio stations, which led to terminate-and-desist letters being issued past Geffen. A number of stations defied the orders. The Seattle radio station 107.7 The End posted a banner on their website that appear: "We took your east-mails and flooded the server at Geffen Records with tons of choice words about their 'You lot Know You lot're Right' terminate and desist order. Due to the huge publicity outcry, the characterization has released the track. Hear NEW Nirvana all this weekend, only on 107.7 The End."[nine]
In late September, Love, Grohl and Novoselic released a joint statement announcing that the lawsuit had been settled, and that "You Know You're Correct" would be officially released on the Nirvana greatest hits album afterward that twelvemonth.[4] It was somewhen released as a promo single, with a music video directed by Chris Hafner. The song was re-released on Nirvana's second greatest hits compilation, Icon, in 2010.

Amy McAuliffe from BBC chosen the song "a poignant reminder of what might have been" and described information technology as "listening to a dead man snarling out his last gasp of righteous sarcasm."[15] Volition Hermes of Spin remarked that information technology was "astonishing how a merely good Nirvana vocal still scorches everything inside earshot."[16] David Samuels of Slate wrote that "unlike well-nigh post-mortem rock releases, 'You Know Yous're Correct' is not B-side fabric or the consequence of recording studio wizardry—information technology'due south a real Nirvana song" that showed that "Cobain was at the peak of his powers as a vocalist and songwriter—the about gifted and pop writer that rock music had seen since Lennon/McCartney."[17] Besides, Larry Flint from Billboard stated, "Dissimilar about previously unreleased cuts tacked onto all-time-of sets, 'You Know You're Correct' is a stiff add-on to Nirvana'southward cache of classic material."[18]
"You Know Yous're Right" was ranked at the fifth best unmarried of the year by Spin, with Charles Aaron calling it a "gnarly fiddling centre-shaped box crammed with feedback, bile, and a gut-shredding chorus."[19] In 2002, the song received a BDS Spin Accolade for 50,000 radio spins in the U.s.a.,[xx] and in 2003 information technology received a BDS award for 100,000 radio spins in the US.[21]

Grohl reflected on the song in a 2019 interview with The Guardian, telling interviewer Eve Barlow that "I listened to it for the first time in 10 years. Oh God, information technology'due south hard to listen to. It was not a pleasant time for the band. Kurt was unwell. Then he was well. So he was unwell. The last year of the band was tough." In addition to calling the lyrics "heartbreaking" in retrospect, Grohl added that "I used to remember it sounded like [Cobain] was singing the chorus. Now I listen to it and information technology'southward like he'south wailing."[24]
In May 2020, American managing director Cameron Crowe revealed in an interview with Stereogum that he had subconscious the studio recording of "You lot Know You're Correct," given to him by Love, in his film Vanilla Heaven, which was released almost a year prior to the song's official release. "We couldn't credit it in the movie and information technology was actually illegal," Crowe explained, "but Courtney Dearest gave information technology to united states of america. She said, 'This is the only Nirvana vocal that's never been released. Hibernate it in your movie somewhere.'[25]
Title [edit]
"You lot Know You're Right" did not take an official title at the time of Cobain's death in Apr 1994. According to Gaar's 2002 Mojo article, it was listed simply as "Kurt's Tune #1" on the tracking sheets from the Robert Lang Studios recording session.[iii] In 1995, it was performed every bit "Y'all've Got No Right" by Hole at their MTV Unplugged appearance, and this championship was virtually commonly used past fans prior to the release of the album Nirvana in 2002.
In the liner notes to Nirvana, Rolling Stone writer David Fricke erroneously states that the vocal had gone under the previous titles of "Autopilot" and "On a Mountain". The latter title was likewise cited by Charles Cantankerous in his 2001 Cobain biography, Heavier Than Heaven.[26] : 306 These names were actually invented by bootleggers who had misheard Grohl's annotate at the beginning of the live version. Grohl had announced, "This is our last vocal; it'southward called 'All Apologies'",[27] unaware that Cobain had already started playing "You Know You're Right". Due to the relatively poor allegiance of the live recording, bootleggers believed Grohl had introduced the new song, and tried to translate what they thought was its championship. Cross also seems to misrepresent the lyrics in Heavier Than Heaven, citing the lyric, "I am walking in the piss," which appears in Pigsty'due south 1995 version of the vocal, but in no known Nirvana recording.[26] : 306, 381

Directed past Chris Hafner, information technology features a montage of ring footage, fatigued mostly from live performances and interviews, occasionally edited to requite the issue of the vocal being performed.[28] The video peaked at number two of the Billboard Video Monitor, a nautical chart of the nigh-played clips as monitored by the Nielsen Circulate Data Systems, for the week ending October 20, 2002.[29]
