Elaine Right Now

South African R&B singer and songwriter Elaine is kicking off her next era of music with a moody new single dubbed “Right Now.”

This song is exactly what it means and feels like to welcome growth, celebrate being a confident woman and find comfort in independence. When making this song, I remember walking up to the mic with a lot of things I was carrying in my heart but had trouble communicating and relaying to others. After I recorded it, things changed for me. The concept of Love transformed from being a good lover to someone, to being a good lover to myself too.

“Right Now” marks Elaine’s first release since 2019’s EP “Elements” and its beautifully shot music video, directed by Nape Phasha, shows Elaine living her best life.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every time I try to heal, every time I try to feel
You come back into my life, promising me something real
We ain’t making progress, and I still need to process
Everything you did to me, ’cause I don’t know if we’re meant be, I
Why did you lie?
Why did you fuck with my feelings?
Why do you cry when I’m leaving?
Why can’t you see that I’m grieving?
The death of my love for you, ooh
I wish I could make it through but (Oh, oh, yeah, yeah)
Oh no, yeah

[Chorus]
I’m in my bag right now
I can’t be in tears right now
I can’t afford to lose right now
It’s all eyes on me right now (Right now, right now)
Right now, yeah
I’m in my bag right now
I can’t be in tears right now
I can’t afford to lose right now
Right now, right now

[Verse 2]
If I told you that I need you would you take away the pain?
Or would you come right back and hurt me once again?
‘Cause I cannot continue
Carrying all your insecurities, I got more priorities
But if it were up to me (Me)
You would make it up to me (Yeah, yeah)
But the game is icy, my nigga (My nigga, oh, oh-oh)
You switched up, I see, my nigga (My nigga, yeah)
Oh (Oh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]
I’m in my bag right now
I can’t be in tears right now
I can’t afford to lose right now
It’s all eyes on me right now (Right now, right now)
Right now, yeah
I’m in my bag right now
I can’t be in tears right now
I can’t afford to lose right now
Right now, right now
Right now

[Bridge]
Bitches on your phone
I see y’all talking in codes
These be the same girls that look up to me
If only they knew how you look down on me
This ain’t how it is supposed to be
This can’t be how true love feels (No, no, no, no-no)

[Chorus]
I’m in my bag right now
I can’t be in tears right now
I can’t afford to lose right now
It’s all eyes on me right now (Right now, right now)
Right now, yeah
I’m in my bag right now
I can’t be in tears right now
I can’t afford to lose right now
Right now, right now
