The London Sessions Released:
2014 You take from me
So why you holding back? Boy, why you holding back?
So vacantly
But you won't get away with that, no you won't get away with that
They don't see what you do to me
From the outside
This can't be what it used to be
From the outside
I'm telling you
Right Now, I'm telling you right now
No, I won't play this game with you
I'm taking it back now, I'm turning it right round
My love won't be the same for you no more
My love won't be the same for you no more
No, I won't play this game
Don't wait for me
When you know you did me wrong, I've been holding on too long
Eventually
I'll make the call
They don't see what you do to me
From the outside
This can't be what it used to be
From the outside
I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you right now
No, I won't play this game with you
I'm taking it back now, I'm turning it right round
My love won't be the same for you no more
My love won't be the same for you no more
No, I won't play this game
(No, never gonna give you the time)
(No, never gonna give you the time)
(No, never gonna give you the time)
(No, never gonna give you the time)
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
Oh right now (No, never gonna give you the time)
(No, never gonna give you the time) Played too many games
(No, never gonna give you the time)
No, never gonna
Telling you right now, I'm telling you right now
No, I won't play this game with you
I'm taking it back now, I'm turning it right round
My love won't be the same for you no more
My love won't be the same for you no more
No, I won't play this game

LyricFindRight Now Song Chart This song was written by Blige with Disclosure brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence, Sam Smith and songwriter Jimmy Napes, who previously co-penned both Disclosure and Smith's debut albums. Howard Lawrence explained to The Observer: "The track 'Right Now' started with some chords I made on Jimmy Napes' piano. We took that and gave it a Disclosure-y feel with some drums that Guy made. Mary leaves the instrumental side to us and gets much more involved when it comes to writing vocals." The song was released as the first single from The London Sessions album, for which Blige recruited a number of new British producers including Disclosure. She explained: "The sound in London at the moment is house music. That is what the majority of people are producing their songs like. But the ones that get truly successful are the ones using proper songwriting. Rudimental for example – they write proper songs and then produce them like dance music. And that is exactly what we're trying to do, along with a few other people."
"But that applies to any genre, not just dance music," Blige continued. "You could take the songs off Sam Smith's album, produce them in a completely different way and they would still be a huge success – you could produce them like acid jazz and I still feel like they'd get somewhere." Blige previously worked with Disclosure on a remix of their song "F For You" and Sam Smith on an updated version of his hit single "Stay With Me." The black-and-white, documentary-style video shows everything from Mary J. writing lyrics to the singer meeting the Disclosure brothers and laying down her vocals in the London studio.
