Oops! Wrong Planet is the third studio album by American rock band Utopia. It delivers a markedly trimmed-down, pop-oriented direction for the band following the progressively influenced previous album, Ra .

Oops! peaked at No. 77 on the Billboard album chart in 1977. ^[3]

"Love is the Answer" later became a hit for England Dan & John Ford Coley, charting #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary list in 1979. ^[4]
