Walk Right Now (6:24)

“Walk Right Now” is a 1981 pop/funk song written, produced and performed by The Jacksons and issued as the fourth and final single from the group’s popular album, Triumph.

The song was written by Jackie Jackson, Michael Jackson and Randy Jackson and was a song in which a man was fed up with his lover’s excuses about how they can resolve their relationship despite the woman’s acts of infidelity towards him, therefore delivering the message, “walk right now / I’m not playing” in a chant-like phrase.

When released, the song performed only modestly on U.S. pop radio, peaking at a number seventy-three, but the song became a hit in the U.K., where it peaked at number seven on the U.K. pop charts.
