"Love You Right" is the debut single of Australian electronic group Euphoria. The track reached number one on the ARIA Charts and would be the first of two number-one singles in Australia for the trio. [1] The track was remixed by 2 Unlimited when it was released in the United Kingdom. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1992, the song earned Euphoria a nomination for Best New Talent, losing to Underground Lovers by Underground Lovers. [2]

Music video

The song's video was launched by being shown at the start of episode 260 of soap opera E Street when character Wheels watches TV and is surprised to see his housemate Jo jo (Kelley Abbey) in the video. (Along with current cast member Abbey, the video also features future E Street cast member and future Mentalist Simon Baker Denny.)

When the video for the track was first released, many assumed that member Holly Garnett was the lead singer of the song. Another member, Keren Minshull, actually did the vocals (she appears in the video but in few scenes), which resulted the group being accused of lip synching which would tarnish the group's image later on in their short career. Minshull noted at the time that they did the video the label wasn't sure they wanted an older woman (and a brunette) to be featured, as Minshull was 42 when the single was released, opting to go with the younger and blonde Garnett (who was also dating Klippel at the time) instead as the face of the group. [3]

A second video for "Love You Right" was filmed, with Minshull in a more-prominent role, to promote the single's release in Europe. [4] Minshull mentioned in a 2018 interview that she never saw the second version until the presenters doing the interview showed her the clip. [3]
