Just for Now "Just for Now" is a song by English recording artist and producer Imogen Heap, from her second studio album, "Speak for Yourself" (2005). Written and produced by Heap, the song was originally written for the second-season episode of the television series "The O.C." entitled "The Chrismukkah That Almost Wasn't", but was deemed too dark for the episode. "Just for Now" is a electronica song about a constant mayhem within a holiday environment, in which the singer sings to set aside the disarray for a short time of peace. Heap has performed the song in live performances, which she invites the audience to participate on it. "Just for Now" was covered by American recording artist Kelly Clarkson, for her sixth studio album "Wrapped in Red" (2013). Her version of the song, produced by Greg Kurstin, musically quotes the Christmas standard "Carol of the Bells" and was met with positive reviews. The song was also sampled in Clams Casino's composition "I'm God", featured on both "Instrumentals" and Lil B's "6 kiss", and was also covered by Pentatonix on their 2015 deluxe edition of their Christmas album That's Christmas to Me.
