“Right Now”. As her intimate and emotive vocals intertwine perfectly with Gen Neo’s, Amber continues to explore space. “Right Now” accelerates as the singer disrupts the stability of its central riff with cascading brassy stabs that both percussive and melodic – sucking it all up into its weeping c...
[Verse 1: Amber Liu with Gen Neo]
This is just crazy
Maybe it's too late now this time around, no
Do I ever cross your mind? (Ever cross your mind, yeah)
Baby, can you hear me?
Remember the times you use to lay me in your arms
Can you love me once again? (Love me once again)
Oh no, no, 'cause now I know
[Pre-Chorus: Amber Liu & Gen Neo, Amber Liu]
(It ain't your fault)
I know it ain't your fault, yeah
(Maybe I'm wrong)
I've been so wrong
Is it too late for apologies?
Baby, just come on back to me
Back to me, back to me
[Chorus: Amber Liu & Gen Neo]
'Cause I know I need you now
But I don't know about you
'Cause you got me, baby
I'm just trying to play it cool
I need you right now (Right now)
Right now (Right now)
Right now
'Cause, baby, don't you know I need you here?
It's getting hard to breathe
Now I'm stuck here running circles
Still, why can you see?
I need you right now (Right now)
Right now (Right now)
Right now
[Verse 2: Gen Neo with Amber Liu]
Don't tell me no 'cause I've been waiting here for you
You know I'm sorry, my one and only
I promise that I'll do the best I can (Do the best I can)
And I can't hide away all the things I feel, baby
'Cause now I know
[Pre-Chorus: Amber Liu & Gen Neo, Gen Neo]
(It ain't your fault)
I know it ain't your fault, yeah
(Maybe I'm wrong)
I've been so wrong
Is it too late for apologies?
Baby, just come on back to me
Back to me, back to me
[Chorus: Amber Liu & Gen Neo, Gen Neo]
'Cause I know I need you now
But I don't know about you (But I don't know about you)
'Cause you got me, baby
I'm just trying to play it cool
I need you right now (Right now)
Right now (Right now)
Right now
'Cause, baby, don't you know I need you here?
It's getting hard to breathe
Now I'm stuck here running circles
Still, why can you see?
I need you right now (Right now)
Right now (Right now)
Right now
[Bridge: Gen Neo, Amber Liu & Both]
I thought it'd be much easier
Erasing all the memories of you
And all the things I try to do
Cause nowhere only leads to you
We try, just to break all the holds that we made
Our feelings so empty that we can't replace
Cause over again and again
Why do you still keep playing in my head? Woah
[Chorus: Amber Liu & Gen Neo, Amber Liu]
'Cause I know I need you now
But I don't know about you (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
'Cause you got me, baby
I'm just trying to play it cool
I need you right now (Right now)
Right now (Right now)
Right now
'Cause, baby, don't you know I need you here?
It's getting hard to breathe (It's getting hard to breathe)
Now I'm stuck here running circles
Still, why can you see? (Why can't you see, baby?)
I need you right now (Right now)
Right now (Right now)
Right now
Right Now was produced by Gen Neo.

Funny story about that song, the producer Gen [Neo], who is my singing coach and basically my mentor for everything, he actually wrote this song in 2011 or 2012 and he said he was going to trash it. We actually had to change the song three to four tim...
