"Must Have Done Something Right" is a song by American rock band Relient K. It was released as the lead single from their fifth studio album, Five Score and Seven Years Ago. The song was released to iTunes on November 28, 2006. The single comes with a bonus song, "(Hope for Every) Fallen Man".[1] The song was officially released to radio in January 2007, along with the music video, which was shot in December 2006 and released on February 10, 2007.

The song's length is 3:07 on the single, but 3:19 in the video and on the album. This is because the song's ending is extended for the album and the video so that it goes another chorus and into a fade out at the end, as opposed to the abrupt ending for the single.

Background

The song was released for digital download on November 28, 2006.[2] Matthew Thiessen explained the song in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, stating, "This song represents something that I've wanted to create for a long time. It's not a political commentary or a tear jerking emotion-piece, it's just a feel good, fun song."[3]

The song is downloadable for Rock Band 3.[4]

Composition

"Must Have Done Something Right" was written by Matthew Thiessen and produced by Howard Benson.[5] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com, by Alfred Music Publishing, the track runs at 136 BPM and is in the key of A major.[6] Thiessen's range in the song spans from the notes A3 to F#5.[6]

Thiessen wrote the song at 3am as a "'this is so happy' type of thing."[7] Lyrically, the song is an ode to young love between a girl and an "undeserving guy" with an opening line of, "We should get jerseys, because we make a good team. But yours would look better than mine, because you're out of my league."[8] Musically, the track leans into a similar to "The Truth".[8]

Critical reception

Template:Music ratings

Josh Naylor of Jesus Freak Hideout gave the song a positive review, stating, "Perhaps a bit cliché in places, but the song actually pokes fun at itself in that aspect, with Thiessen openly admitting how cliché his professions of love really are [...] The one word to describe it is catchy. However, Relient K lays it on with guitar crunches that let you know that this is not pop music."[8]

Music video

The video was directed by Marc Webb and was released on February 10, 2007.[9] It is primarily focused on Matt Thiessen's efforts to reclaim a soccer ball his girlfriend (Jonna Walsh) kicks near the beginning of the song. During sporadic shots, the band (with Thiessen) plays (alternately) in a bowling alley and in front of a lake. The video features quick shots and transitions between scenes and locations as the camera follows the flight of the ball. Thiessen challenges a tamales vendor, a police officer, a little girl, a library student, and a construction worker, among others, to get the ball and the girl's attention.[10]
