âÂÂRight On!â is a song by the Scottish house duo Silicone Soul. The track evolved over several versions from its earliest form âÂÂRight On 4 Tha Darknessâ to the widely known âÂÂRight On Right OnâÂÂ, and then to a vocal version âÂÂRight On!â featuring Louise Clare Marshall, which was released as a single on 24 September 2001.
Silicone Soul first developed the track in 1999 as âÂÂRight On 4 Tha DarknessâÂÂ, a re-working of Curtis MayfieldâÂÂs âÂÂRight On for the DarknessâÂÂ, which underlies the trackâÂÂs string arrangement and orchestral motifs. In interviews, Craig Morrison explained that the duo wanted to make a record âÂÂwith strings and depth that still worked on the dancefloor,â which eventually evolved into âÂÂRight On Right On."
The song gained popularity in IbizaâÂÂs club scene, becoming an anthem in the early 2000sâÂÂparticularly at the nightclub Space, which helped push the track to broader European recognition.
DJ Mag described âÂÂRight Onâ as a âÂÂcult Ibiza anthemâ whose orchestral sweep and vocal iterations allowed it to transcend underground dance floors into wider recognition. A 20-year retrospective by Change Underground notes that its unusual length and orchestral sweep didnâÂÂt prevent it from becoming a floor-filler, crediting DJs in Ibiza with breaking it internationally. In a review of a Darkroom Dubs compilation, BlackPlastic mentions âÂÂRight On!â as the âÂÂgenre-defying track ⦠that found a place in many DJsâ sets,â and remarks that it moved beyond simple club crossover to become part of the duoâÂÂs defining identity.
