Background
When Kerry Katona left the band she was replaced by Jenny Frost. At the same time "Whole Again" was climbing up the charts, so it was decided to shoot a new video. After the success of "Whole Again", the album was remastered and re-released with Jenny Frost. The album therefore makes two appearances in the charts, with the first appearance being a moderate success and the second appearance going to number one with 47,000 copies sold in a first week. During every subsequent released single, the album re-entered the top 40 and even re-entered during the 2002 tour. Atomic Kitten had re-released the Right Now album with vocals of Frost including "Eternal Flame", "You Are" and "Tomorrow and Tonight". Vocals of Katona, such as "I Want Your Love", "See Ya", "Cradle" and "Follow Me". "Whole Again" and "Right Now" are released on the multi-platinum album.
There are three versions of the album - the original which peaked at number thirty-nine, the re-issue which topped the UK Album Chart, and the rare original Japanese release.
Atomic Kitten started by making an Asian tour and the album was first released in Japan where they previously had their first number one hit with "Cradle". Due to this Asian success, Atomic Kitten rush-released the album there. Right Now was subsequently released in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2000 with a slightly modified tracklist, but at first there were no plans to focus on the worldwide market. After the success of "Whole Again", the album and single were released globally except for the United States and it was decided to release the newly recorded cover song, "Eternal Flame"., as well and make an additional single for the European, Australian, South African and New Zealand audiences, You Are. Later a combination of their next album "Feels So Good" and Right Now was released for the American audience and titled Atomic Kitten.
One of the early ideas for Atomic Kitten was that of a cartoon pop band influenced by Japanese manga comics. That is why many songs on the original version of "Right Now" are highly pop oriented. Due to the success of "Whole Again", the re-issue of Right Now contained a more mature pop sound, as Atomic Kitten were leaving their old pop sound behind. Instead, ballad-based songs like "Eternal Flame", "Tonight and Tomorrow" and "You Are" were included on the album.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
