"Right Now" is an uptempo 1962 jazz/pop song with music by Herbie Mann and lyrics by Carl Sigman. As a jazz instrumental, it was the title track of a 1962 bossa nova-style album by Mann. Later that same year, with lyrics by Sigman, the song was popularised by jazz singer Mel Tormé on his album Comin' Home Baby!
It has since been covered in a variety of pop styles including recordings by The Creatures (1983) and the Pussycat Dolls (2005).

A cover version of "Right Now" appears on PCD, the 2005 debut album for The Pussycat Dolls. It was released on the 23 January 2007 via iTunes as a digital downloadable single.[1] "Right Now" is the first single the Dolls have released endorsing a product or show. As of February 2007 "Right Now" is being used as the alternate opening and 'bumper' theme to the NBA on ABC in the United States. For the NBA version the lyrics were slightly reworked (possibly by The Dolls' lead singer Nicole Scherzinger). In the original album version Carmit Bachar sings the second verse. The new version is sung entirely by Scherzinger.
Before it started on September 24, 2006, ABC used this song to promote the first episode, "Listen to the Rain on the Roof", of the third season of Desperate Housewives.
