"The Right Time" is a song by British group Ultra. It was released on 28 September 1998 on in the United Kingdom through East West Records as the third single from their debut album, Ultra (1999).
The song is structured as a "jaunty uptempo punctuated with rousing drum kicks, brass stabs and a buoyant, toe-tapping beat". The lyrics address "walking away from a relationship", but rather than "apportioning blame or ruminating over what’s gone wrong", they focus on "affirming that both partners are capable of more than they’ve settled for".
The music video is set at a house party, showing Ultra performing while guests move around them. The production includes some visual effects, such as multiple versions of James Hearn appearing in a bathroom scene, and several shots stylized with a green tint.
