"Wrong Way" is a song from Sublime's self-titled third album which fits squarely within the punk rock-inspired third wave ska movement of the 1990s.
The lyrical content of the song refers to the life of a girl, named Annie, who was forced into prostitution by her family of "seven horny brothers" and her "drunk-ass dad." She is soon rescued from a life of prostitution by the narrator of the song, an ironic twist is added in the lyrical references hinting that the narrator saved her and accidentally mistreated her himself. A video was made starring Bijou Phillips, soon after the band's lead singer, Bradley Nowell, died.
The song's music video is heavily inspired by the Oliver Stone film Natural Born Killers, with a young, Mallory Knox-like heroine in the role of the prostitute Annie. It also bears a resemblance to the plot line of Taxi Driver
The song was featured in the video game Aggressive Inline.
Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine did a Lounge style version of this on his 2000 album called, "Lounge Against the Machine".
