It also reached number five in New Zealand and ended 1993 as the country's 41st-best-selling single.
Background and writing
Lead singer Chris Barron stated that the song was inspired by his relationship with his stepmother, despite popular belief that it was written about an ex-girlfriend. He described his stepmother as a "malignant narcissist". Barron had a viral tweet in August 2019 about the song's creation, writing: "My stepmom told me I'd be a janitor [nothing wrong with that] and live in the basement of a school and play guitar for the rats. I wrote a song about her. It's called Little Miss Can't Be Wrong. It's been played on the radio three million times."
Critical reception
AllMusic describes the song as "incessantly catchy".
