Lyrics to right on time by brandi carlile

"Right on Time" is a song by American singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile, released on July 21, 2021 as the lead single from her seventh studio album In These Silent Days. The song received three Grammy Award nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance.

Background[edit]

The song was written when Carlile was quarantining in the Washington countryside during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Carlile, the song's lyrics refer to events that happened during the pandemic: "babies were born, divorces were had, people died, and there's something really human about the obstacles that we've put in front of ourselves."[1]

Live performances[edit]

Carlile performed "Right on Time" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on July 21, 2021, coinciding with the release of the music video.[2] She also performed the song on The Howard Stern Show on October 5, 2021;[3] Saturday Night Live on October 23, 2021, and at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards on April 3, 2022.[4]

Music video[edit]

Carlile released the video for the song on July 21, 2021. The music video for the song was directed by American actress Courteney Cox. The video's look, which has been compared to David Bowie's aesthetic, was designed by stylist Maryam Malakpour. Since part of the video was shot underwater, Carlile had to take swimming lessons to overcome her lifelong aquaphobia.[1]

Alternate versions[edit]

Carlile has released two alternate versions of the song. On August 27, 2021, she released a stripped-down version, "Right on Time (In Harmony)".[5] On September 24, 2021, she released a live version of the single recorded at Red Rocks Amphitheatre with the Colorado Symphony.[6]

Lyrics Right On Time – Brandi Carlile

Come back now
Even if you call me out
You might be angry now
Of course you are

I’m scared to
Didn’t mean to take it out on you
I know I always do
You’re the strongest person in the room
Turn back time
Help me to rewind and we can
Find ourselves again

It’s not too late
Either way
I lose you in these silent days
It wasn’t right
But it was right on time

Don’t look down
I can feel it when your heart starts pounding
It’s beyond your control, you know it is
It’s getting to the point where I can’t carry on
I never held my breath for quite this long
And I don’t take it back, I did what I had to do

It’s not too late
Either way
I lose you in these silent days
It wasn’t right
But it was right on time

It’s not too late
Either way
I lose you in these silent days
It wasn’t right
But it was right on time…

Brandi Carlile performed "Right On Time" as a musical guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on the 22nd of July, 2021. Speaking with Variety before the show, Carlile revealed about the writing of it, "I almost wanted to steer away from power ballads and big notes altogether, because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it again as well and that I would struggle with that. But when 'Right on Time' came to me, I was like, 'Okay. I can relax. This is where I was meant to go after 'The Joke'.'"

Courteney Cox directed the music video for this track. Brandi Carlile first sent the song to several directors, which sent back their ideas. Carlile explained during her appearance on CBS's "This Morning" show shortly before the song's release, "Her was just the best. And Courteney, she didn't send the treatment, she FaceTime'd to me and she acted out the whole thing. And I was riveted. I was like, 'That's the song! You get it!'"
