"Just nu!" (Right now!) was the Swedish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1980, performed in Swedish by Tomas Ledin.
The song talks about a man tired of the monotonous life in the city, in that moment he wants to live his life, he wants to feel the air in his lungs and perhaps to travel to Paris.
The song was performed 8th on the night, following Denmark's Bamses Venner with "Tænker altid på dig" and preceding Switzerland's Paola with "Cinéma". At the close of voting, it had received 47 points, placing 10th in a field of 19. The contest itself was won by Johnny Logan of Ireland.
It was succeeded as Swedish representative at the 1981 Contest by Björn Skifs with "Fångad i en dröm".
During the performance the cable was accidentally plugged out of Tomas Ledin's microphone. He just made it to plug it in before the start of the second verse.
Swedish singer-songwriter Laleh, covered "Just nu!" as part of reality television series Så mycket bättre. Although not officially released as a single, the song was available digitally in Sweden as part of the weekly compilations that accompanied the series, on 30 October 2011, released by Universal Music Sweden in conjunction with TV4. It was later included on her extended play of all of the interpretations included on the show, titled Tolkningarna on 25 December 2011, released by Lost Army and Warner Music Sweden. Furthermore Tolkningarna was released as a bonus disc on the physical versions of Laleh's fourth studio album, Sjung, released on 25 January 2012.
