"Right Now" is a song by American singer Nick Jonas and German musician, DJ and record producer Robin Schulz. Written by Jonas and Skylar Grey, it was released by Island Records on August 24, 2018.

Background and release

On August 9 during an interview with Teen Vogue, Nick announced the song is one he had "been sitting on for awhile, but I was looking for the right time to put it out and the right person to collaborate with. [...] It's a song with Robin Schulz which I'm really excited about called "Right Now" that I wrote with Skylar Grey."[3] The song was released on August 24.[4] Upon the release of the song, several outlets speculated that the song was written about Jonas's fiancée Priyanka Chopra.[5][6] On August 24, Skylar Grey took to her Instagram Stories to explain who inspired the song in further detail. She stated: "This song is about Elliot [her boyfriend]. Guys, Nick Jonas just put out a new song with Robin Schulz, and that's a song I worked on with him. And guess what? The was inspired by my love [Elliot], cause I was always on these trips, going away and working, and on that one I was in London working with Nick, and something Elliot always used to say to me was "I swear, the next time I have you in my arms I'm never letting you go." And that's what inspired the song."[7]

Critical reception

Kat Bein of Billboard said the song is a flirty dance-pop tune perfect for summer nights that reveal hidden excitement. A dancehall-inspired rhythm sets the scene for a folk-like melodic hook. Jonas gives a lovesick lean to his performance as he yearns for his lover to return from some far-off journey. It's a sultry club mood that lives up to the promise of the dark, red artwork.[8]
