About Right Time

"The Right Time" is a song by Celtic folk rock band The Corrs, the third single from their debut album Forgiven, Not Forgotten. It was released in 1996 and the track was remixed for airplay. The remix replaced a light and breezy rhythm with a hard-pounding beat coupled with reggae-style bass. The remix was produced by Per Adebratt, Tommy Ekman, and Douglas Carr, who had previously worked with Ace of Base. The song was featured in their live set for several years. "The Right Time" was targeted at pop radio by Atlantic US, hence the video theme of 1960s pop tinged with psychedelic, and the band's new haircuts and publicity photos. The new style lasted around a week before the Corrs' classic look returned. The video for the track was originally filmed and released with the "Radio Edit – Dance Mix" version; promotion was done with this version too. The album edit video can be found on the Best of The Corrs DVD. Warner's International territories released "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" as the second single from the album of the same name, while Atlantic US went straight to "The Right Time".

This is the right time, once in a lifetime 
 
So I find it hard to sleep, don't you know 
The sun is shining in my window, life's in flow 
Making music in the morning, laughter's light 
Creativity touches in for flight 

This is the right time
Once in a lifetime 

Keep it going, let's not lose it, feel the flow 
Oh, flying free in a fantasy, you I'll go 

This is the right time
Once in a lifetime 

Now something has entered my mind, shattering all of my thoughts 
It's no good, it's just one big waste of my time
But what can I do to recall 

This is the right time
Once in a lifetime 
This is the right time
Once in a lifetime 
This is the right time
Once in a lifetime 
This is the right time
Once in a lifetime
