Right Here Right Now is the third studio album by American recording artist Jordin Sparks. It was released on August 21, 2015, through Louder Than Life / Red Associated Labels (RAL), an imprint of Sony Music Entertainment, and 19 Recordings. Sparks made the official album announcement on November 25, 2014, after releasing her mixtape #ByeFelicia. It is her first release in six years following 2009's Battlefield. Sparks describes the album as "pretty music with a bump to it" being largely influenced by the R&B music of the 1990s. The final edition of the album features a fourteen-track standard edition which was serviced to all domestic and international markets. On the album, Sparks co-wrote seven out of the fourteen tracks.

Sparks worked with Salaam Remi, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, The Underdogs, Jonas Jeberg and Dem Jointz on the album. Sparks started recording in October 2010 with multiple editions of the album taking form over those years. After leaving RCA Records the completed albums had been shelved. The album had then begun production again and was re-recorded over a three-year period.

The album was preceded by the release of the lead single, "Double Tap", featuring American rapper 2 Chainz. It charted on the U.S. Billboard Rhymytic Top 40 chart, peaking at number twenty-five. The second single, a Dem Jointz production called "Right Here Right Now", was released just over a month before the album. "It Ain't You" and "They Don't Give" served as promotional singles preceding the album's release.

Upon its release, the album received generally favorable reviews from music critics, praising her vocals and her throwback to 1990s R&B music. The album debuted at number 161 on the US Billboard 200, number 11 on the US Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Albums, and number 4 on the Billboard R&B albums.
