"Am I Right?" is a song by Erasure that was released in European territories as the third single from their album Chorus. The song was not released as a single in the United States. "Am I Right?" is a synth pop ballad written by Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell. Lyrically the song examines the feelings of a protagonist who is wandering through the city streets after a romantic separation, while his lover contemplates whether or not (s)he is really in love and wants to return to the relationship.

Upon its release "Am I Right?" became the fifteenth consecutive top-twenty song on the UK singles chart for Erasure. Shortly after the release as a single, the "Am I Right EP" was released, which featured new songs and alternate versions of Erasure singles and album tracks. The "Am I Right EP" peaked at number twenty-two in the UK.
