At the ARIA Music Awards of 2015, the song won the ARIA Award for Best Dance Release.

Reception

AAA Backstage said the song has a "hypnotizing beat with slightly faded melodies, accompanied by catchy and rhythmic claps and synths, not to mention warm vocals, which unconditionally stuck in your head."[2]

Jacob Robinson from Daily Review, in a review of the album Bloom, said ""You Were Right" is a brilliant dance-floor filler and easily the best song on the album. It mixes the light grooves of sunny Sydney summers with the throbbing house build-ups of a chilly winter safe haven of a German club."[3]

Music video

The music video was directed by Katzki and released on 6 August 2015.[4] Band member Jon George said "We worked with long time collaborator Katzki, who also happens to be my brother and has done every one of our videos. The video is about a feeling. It's the anticipation of a single moment and waiting for that moment of euphoria."[5]
