General Information

Written by: A. Lee and W. B. Hunt

Yeah Right is the fourth track and fourth single from Evanescence's fifth studio album, The Bitter Truth. The title was registered on BMI repertoire in late June 2020.[1] It was one of the first four songs recorded for the album in early 2020. It was released on December 4, 2020 as a single, along with the album's pre-order.

The song was originally recorded on the 2010 Lillywhite sessions for the band's third album, but was scrapped by their then label, along with much of what they wrote and recorded for what would become their 2011 album, Evanescence. Amy explained it in an Instagram post and how it was revamped with a new perspective:

Vin1.jpg Yeah Right was a song I started 10 years ago with our good friend Will B. Hunt (the other one! Synthesis/DTM etc). After our self titled album went in a different direction and this song was set aside, I made a promise to myself that I wasn’t going to give up on it. I knew it was worth fighting for. Perspectives shifted, lyrics got a new twist, the stars aligned and it finally clicked into place for us as a band on this record. I couldn’t have imagined it like this back then, and I’m so glad we waited for it to become what it is now. I’m so proud! Thank you Will, thank you to my ferocious band for bringing the fire and to Nick Raskulinecz for pushing us to a whole new level.[2] Vin2.jpg


Amy was asked on Twitter whether the song was about her former label:

Vin1.jpg I wasn’t so much writing about my experience in the industry, but my experience being in a band. And in the spotlight. Part of success is that there’s always somebody who wants to tear you down. Somebody who feels like they deserve more and hates you for what you have. But real life is rarely what it looks like from the outside.[3][4] Vin2.jpg


In an interview with Kerrang! in December 2020, she discussed the song:

Vin1.jpg So far, I feel like each song that we put out is a very different colour of the spectrum and there are more colours yet to come, for sure. Yeah Right has been a long time coming; I started that song a decade ago. It was mostly there, it had been at the top of the pile for a really, really long time – we’ve always had a cool pile of extra scraps and pieces of unfinished songs. That’s just one that kept on not plugging in, and then something happened this year when we got together and started playing and pulling songs together in pre-production – I was like, ​‘I finally know how we can make it work!’ It’s one of those songs that we’re going to have to figure out how to do live because I don’t want to be glued to the moog the whole time. It might be a good time to whip out the keytar![5] Vin2.jpg

Lyrics

I’m the widow
On the tip tippy toppy of the highest high of low
And I’m the shadow
of the first little flower on the brightest patch of snow
Happiness can be hard to find
I’m so slap silly happy everybody wants to take mine

Yeah right
That sounds nice
Everything we ever wanted and more
Someday we’ll get paid
More than it was worth to sell our souls
Yeah right

Yeah I’m a rock star
I’m a queen resurrected just as messed up as before
twist the knife hard
just makes it easier to tell you I don’t need you anymore

Life’s a game, till you lose- then what?
I’m reaching a new level of not giving a fuck

Yeah right
That sounds nice
Everything we ever wanted and more
Someday we’ll get paid more than it was worth to sell our souls

Tell me how is the real world treating you?
Is that my fault too?
My one mistake was giving more and more and more

More and more and more, hey yeah

Yeah right
Baby that sounds nice
Everything we ever wanted and more
Someday we’ll get paid
More than it was worth to sell our souls, sell our souls

Yeah right
That sounds nice
More than it was worth to sell our souls…
