Shania Twain’s track “Right Time” from the extended edition of her album Little Miss Twain showcases her signature blend of country pop with a breezy, summer‑vibe lyricism. The song, released as part of the album’s full collection, captures the feeling of moving on and embracing new moments.
The lyrics tell the story of a past relationship that didn’t align with the right timing, juxtaposed with vivid images of beach life and carefree indulgence. Twain reflects on missed connections, personal growth, and the joy of living in the present, using playful references to cocktails and sunshine to underline the theme of seizing the right moment.
Right time
Right time, baby
Honestly
Did you really think you’d get away with that?
I’d’ve gone anywhere with you, but
Part of me believed in everything you said
I was the one, but the timing was wrong for us
It’s the right time, baby
Time is gonna take me
Beach hopping, happy, living high as I can
It’s the right time, baby
Sipping cool white ladies
Stir an olivetini in my bikini on the sand
Personally
I didn’t wanna see it for what it was
The rush to crush, just the obvious
I trust in love
So much, it hurts so bad
I was sad, but I’m glad I was wrong about us
It’s the right time, baby
Time is gonna take me
Beach hopping, happy, living high as I can
It’s the right time, baby
Sipping cool white ladies
Stir an olivetini in my bikini on the sand
And my life moved on without you in it, ah
No apologies, please, not gonna waste another minute
It’s the right time, baby
Time is gonna take me
Beach hopping, happy living high as I can
It’s the right time, baby
Sipping cool white ladies
Stir an olivetini in my bikini on the sand
Oh, it’s the right, it’s the right, it’s the right time, baby
(Right time, baby)
But it’s the right time, can’t you see? (Ooh)
(Right time, baby)
Oh, it’s just the obvious
Ooh, oh yeah (ooh)
(Right time, baby)
It’s the right time, baby
Beach hopping on the sand (ooh)
The right time, baby
Fans have praised “Right Time” for its catchy chorus and relatable narrative of letting go and embracing new beginnings. The track has become a favorite summer anthem, highlighting Twain’s ability to blend heartfelt storytelling with upbeat, radio‑ready production.
