Right Now (Na Na Na)

Akon’s “Right Now (Na Na Na)” (2008) is a synth-driven pop song about longing to rekindle a lost love “right now.” Infused with Eurodance elements, the track’s glossy production and Akon’s signature nasal croon made it instantly club-friendly. It became a Top 10 hit on the Hot 100 and found heavy rotation worldwide. “Right Now” also hinted at the coming EDM-pop wave, as Akon successfully straddled R&B vocals with techno-inspired beats, giving heartache a danceable sheen.
