"Just for Now" is a song by English recording artist and producer Imogen Heap, from her second studio album, Speak for Yourself (2005). Written and produced by Heap, the song was originally written for the second-season episode of the television series The O.C. entitled "The Chrismukkah That Almost Wasn't", but was deemed too dark for the episode. "Just for Now" is a electronica song about a constant mayhem within a holiday environment, in which the singer sings to set aside the disarray for a short time of peace. Heap has performed the song in live performances, which she invites the audience to participate on it. "Just for Now" was covered by American recording artist Kelly Clarkson, for her sixth studio album Wrapped in Red (2013). Her version of the song, produced by Greg Kurstin, musically quotes the Christmas standard "Carol of the Bells" and was met with positive reviews. The song was also sampled in Clams Casino's composition I'm God, featured on both Instrumentals and Lil B's 6 kiss, and was also covered by Pentatonix on their 2015 deluxe edition of their Christmas album That's Christmas to Me.
"Just for Now" was written and produced by Imogen Heap in 2004, intending it to be used for the second second-season episode of the television series The O.C., entitled "The Chrismukkah That Almost Wasn't". But after completing it, the producers ultimately decided that the material was too dark, she cited: "though it was, I think, a little too dark for them. Not quite the toasted marshmallows they had in mind." Tracks such as "Hide and Seek" and "Goodnight and Go" were used on the series' other episodes and soundtracks instead. Heap then decided to record it for her second studio album, Speak for Yourself, which was released in 2005. "Just for Now" is an electronica song about a repeated chaos within a holiday environment, in which the singer sings to set aside the disarray for a short time of peace.
