"The Right Time" is a song by Celtic folk rock band the Corrs, the third single from their debut album Forgiven, Not Forgotten. It was released in 1996 and the track was remixed for airplay. The remix replaced a light and breezy rhythm with a hard-pounding beat coupled with reggae-style bass. The remix was produced by Per Adebratt, Tommy Ekman, and Douglas Carr, who had previously worked with Ace of Base. The song was featured in their live set for several years.

"The Right Time" was targeted at pop radio by Atlantic US, hence the video theme of 1960s pop tinged with psychedelic, and the band's new haircuts and publicity photos. The new style lasted around a week before the Corrs' classic look returned. The video for the track was originally filmed and released with the "Radio Edit – Dance Mix" version; promotion was done with this version too. The album edit video can be found on the Best of The Corrs DVD.

Warner's International territories released "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" as the second single from the album of the same name, while Atlantic US went straight to "The Right Time". The single was a commercial failure in the United States, where it failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100 and barely entered the Adult Top 40 chart, inching to number 37.

Music video

This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (March 2014)

The video for "The Right Time" was directed by Kevin Bray, and had a theme based on 1960’s television. Each band member would be playing their respective instrument and singing alone in a different room, as well as the entire group performing together, in another room. The black-and-white square rooms, mirrors, multiple layered shots of one person, and “Alice in Wonderland” effects (a seemingly “giant” person looking inside of a dollhouse window) gave the video a sense of the “futuristic” or even “psychedelic” feel of early visual effects, notably the 1960’s.[1]
