About Leave Right Now

"Leave Right Now" is a song co-written and recorded by American country pop singer Thomas Rhett for his third studio album, Life Changes (2017). Inspired by trends in modern dance music, Rhett co-wrote the track with Edward Drewett, John Henry Ryan, and his co-producer, Julian Bunetta. An extended play featuring various remixes of the song was released April 13, 2018 through the Valory Music Group. "Leave Right Now" serves as the fifth promotional single for the album. "Leave Right Now" has peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

"Leave Right Now" was written in Los Angeles, California and was originally intended as an acoustic country pop song. Rhett drew inspiration from electronic dance music, particularly the songs of The Chainsmokers, and proposed adding a drop after the chorus. He told media outlets when discussing the album's recording that he "never in a million years" expected the song to make it on the record as is because of its "progressive" sound, which he worried might be jarring to country music fans. In April 2018, Valory Music Group commissioned a set of remixes for the song to serve as a promotional single, concurrent with the radio release of "Life Changes".[6] The resulting extended play includes the original album version, a shortened radio edit, an EDM remix from Danish DJ Martin Jensen, and a stripped-down "Nashville mix."
