"I Want It Now" is a song recorded by American funk band Cameo from their fourteenth studio album, Real Men... Wear Black (1990). It was released as a single by Atlanta Artists/ Mercury Records and reached No. 5 on the US Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart. [1]
People declared, "Pushed by a killer bass riff, 'I Want It Now' bubbles like a craterful of lava." [2] Don Waller of the New York Times found that "Cameo rolls back the rug for a wall-to-off-the-wall dance party, with the house-of-whacks "I Want It Now" and the over-the-counter Afro-desiac "Nan-Yea" providing the most innovative moments. [3] Chris Heim of the Chicago Tribune called the song a "catchy, Sly-styled pop funk tune". [4]
