Walk Right Now

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Walk Right Now" is a 1981 song written, produced and performed by The Jacksons and issued as the fourth and final single from the group's popular album, Triumph.

The song was written by all five brothers and was a song in which a man was fed up with his lover's excuses about how they can resolve their relationship despite the woman's acts of infidelity towards him therefore delivering the message, "walk right now/I'm not playing" in a chant-like phrase.

When released, the song performed only modestly on US pop radio peaking at a dismal seventy-three but the song became a hit in the UK where it peaked at number seven on the UK pop charts.
