"Right on Time" is a song by American singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile, released on July 21, 2021 as the lead single from her seventh studio album In These Silent Days.
According to Carlile, the song's lyrics refer to events that happened during the pandemic: "babies were born, divorces were had, people died, and there's something really human about the obstacles that we've put in front of ourselves.
"[1] Carlile performed "Right on Time" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on July 21, 2021, coinciding with the release of the music video.
Since part of the video was shot underwater, Carlile had to take swimming lessons to overcome her lifelong aquaphobia.
