Right On Time is a song by Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 7th album Californication

The song is the shortest on the album. Each verse is focused on the fast rap rock sound of the bands early days, while the chorus slows down and John Frusciante harmonizes.

The song has become a staple of the bands live show, before the song is played live it usually features a tease of "London Calling" by The Clash. Another version has them playing Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke."
