, and produced by Bell. A slight altercation was made to the song for the single release. On the album version of the song, Liz performs the opening and second verses of the song. For the single version, Liz's vocals were removed from the second verse and Jenny's were added. The 2004 version of "Right Now" was never placed on an album, and was only released as a single. The song is completely different to the original version, and is much more dance oriented.

Music video

The music video for "Someone Like Me" features all three girls in white clothes in a room which is plain white. While Liz plays the piano to start of the video, the other two girls are seen lying down on a sofa, and then a view is shown of the girls from outside the room, by a door opening. The video is simple and basic.
