The song was featured during a montage of people getting approved to go to Hollywood during American Idol on January 29, 2008. The promo caused the song to jump 20 spots on iTunes from 75 to 55 overnight.
"Our Time Now" was written by Tom Higgenson, Mia Post (Mia Koo), and Michael Daly and produced by Johnny K.
It was used in some commercials/trailers for the first season of the ABC Family show Greek, and is performed by the band (along with "Hey There Delilah") in the episode "The Rusty Nail". This song was also performed by the Plain White T's in an actual appearance on the 11th episode (iRue the Day) of the first season on Nickelodeon's iCarly. It was also featured (along with "You and Me") in the Disney Channel Original Movie Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board and a Norwegian commercial for As the Bell Rings.
The track was recorded in Simlish for The Sims 2: Teen Style stuff pack.
The song was used in The Ultimate Band Trailer.
The music video was inspired by the 1967 film The Graduate. It stars the band performing the song on a theater stage with a crew working around them. A family appears at the start of the second verse having an outdoor party with a pool. The ending shows Tom stopping a wedding and running off with the bride.
