“Right Now” became one of Seyi Shay’s biggest hits for good reason. The soulful Afropop love song from her debut album “Seyi or Shay” is about longing for intimacy and remembering better times, particularly that December that felt warm despite being winter.
Seyi Shay sings about wanting to feel that connection again immediately, begging to be touched right now because the memories are too strong to ignore. The mid-tempo track later got a popular remix featuring Banky W. and Iyanya, adding R&B and rap verses to the romantic narrative.
[Intro]
Ooh
H-Money producing
[Verse 1]
When I close my eyes and I think of the memory
Me and you, you and me
You used to love me
You used to love me
And baby I'll ride for you
Slow whine for you
I will touch my tippy toes
I will bounce it for you
Oh, oh all the things you used to do
[Hook]
I still remember back in December
Was the hottest winter
From the sunrise to midnight, the love dey enter
That is why I surrender
There is no contender
From the midnight to sunrise the love dey enter
[Chorus]
Touch me now, now, right now, now, now, now
Do you remember the rhyme?
'Cause I remember the rhyme
I wanna feel it right now, now, now, now
Touch me, me, me now, now, now, right now, now, now, now
Do you remember the rhyme?
'Cause I remember the rhyme
I wanna feel it right now, now, now, now
Right now, now, now, now, now, now, now
[Verse 2]
You think I needed that baby, eh
Oh, Lord of mercy knows it
I know you better than that
Oh, baby I would ride for you
Slow whine for you
Make I touch my tippy toes
Make I scatter for you
Oh, oh all the things you used to do
[Hook]
I still remember back in December
Was the hottest winter
From the sunrise to midnight, the love dey enter
That is why I surrender
There is no contender
From the midnight to sunrise the love dey enter
[Chorus]
Touch me now, now, right now, now, now, now
Do you remember the rhyme?
'Cause I remember the rhyme
I wanna feel it right now, now, now, now
Touch me, me, me now, now, now, right now, now, now, now
Do you remember the rhyme?
I wanna drown in the rain
Me wan fi feel it right now, now, now, now
Right now, now, now, now, now, now, now
[Bridge: Seyi Shay]
Give me your honey and I'll put on a show
I'll be your private dancer like I was once before
Spray me with your money, make e pour to the floor
Singing whine mummy, whine mummy
Whine mama, whine
Hoo, how does it feel?
Ye eh, how does it feel?
[Hook]
I still remember back in December
Was the hottest winter
From the sunrise to midnight, the love dey enter
That is why I surrender
There is no contender
From the midnight to sunrise the love dey enter
[Chorus]
Touch me now, now, right now, now, now, now
Do you remember the rhyme?
'Cause I remember the rhyme
I wanna feel it right now, now, now, now
Touch me, me, me now, now, now, right now, now, now, now
Do you remember the rhyme?
I wanna drown in the rain
Me wan fi feel it right now, now, now, now
Right now, now, now, now, now, now, now
