"We're Going Wrong" is a song written by Jack Bruce. It was featured on the Cream album Disraeli Gears, released in 1967. It is a psychedelic blues song that builds from a quiet, melodic rhythm and finishes with Bruce's howling and haunting vocals. The Disraeli Gears Deluxe Edition provides some hindsight on the evolution of the song. It is only Ginger Baker's unconventional 6/4 meter that projects the song into a different category, making it arguably a milestone for other groups to come in the evolution into psychedelism.

The band performed the song during its reunion concert at the Royal Albert Hall in May 2005. Ginger Baker switches from sticks to soft mallets, and through heavy use of floor and his twin tom toms.
