    "Walk Right Now" is a 1981 song written, produced and performed by the Jacksons and issued as the fourth and final single from the group's album, Triumph.

    The song was written by Michael Jackson, Jackie Jackson, and Randy Jackson and is about a man fed up with his lover's excuses about her infidelity.

    When released, the song performed only modestly on US pop radio, peaking at a number seventy-three, but the song became a hit in the UK, where it peaked at number seven on the UK singles chart.

    Record World praised the vocal performance and said that the song "explodes from the outset with an energetic rhythm kick on the bottom and colorful synthesizer lines, guitar riffs and handclaps on top."[1]

    The song was performed live, during the Jackson's Triumph Tour in 1981, but only for the first few shows, meaning a performance of the song is very hard to track down.
