"Right Now" led the charge for Take a Look in the Mirror, Korn's sixth album, in 2003, and it's the sound of a bad mood with the amps turned all the way up. Jonathan Davis has said it came out of one of those mornings when he woke up furious, hating everybody and everything and not wanting to speak to a soul, so he wrote the feeling down and aimed it at the world.
The band wrote it together and produced it alongside Davis, with Frank Filipetti recording, mixing and adding production of his own. It's all lurching grind and bark, nu metal with the funk still twitching in its low end. It climbed to 11 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and 13 on the Alternative chart, though it never charted in Britain or Australia.
