About The Song
“All Right Now” is a song by English rock band Free, featured on their third studio album, “Fire and Water” (1970). Released as the album’s second single, it peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart and number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
Drummer Simon Kirke revealed that the song was created after a disappointing gig in Durham, England, where the band predominantly played slow blues songs. This experience inspired them to create a more upbeat and energetic song. The lyrics depict a chance encounter between two individuals on the street, with the protagonist being drawn to the woman’s captivating smile. It’s seen as an uplifting anthem with a focus on seizing the moment.
Lyrics
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-woha
There she stood in the street
Smilin' from her head to her feet;
I said, "Hey, what is this?
Now maybe, baby,
Maybe she's in need of a kiss."
I said, "Hey, what's your name?
Maybe we can see things the same.
"Now don't you wait, or hesitate.
Let's move before they raise the parking rate."
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now.
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now.
(Let me tell you now)
I took her home to my place,
Watchin' every move on her face;
She said, "Look, what's your game?
Are you tryin' to put me to shame?"
I said "Slow, don't go so fast, don't you think that love can last?"
She said, "Love, Lord above,
Now you're tryin' to trick me in love."
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now.
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now
