'right' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'that singer going wrong' is the wordplay.
'going wrong' indicates an anagram.
'that'+'singer'='thatsinger'
'thatsinger' with letters rearranged gives 'STRAIGHTEN'.

'put' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for straighten that I've seen before include "Adjust" , "Remove bends from (something)" , "put back in order" , "Shattering (anag) - unbend" , "put in alignment?" .)
