The lyrics to “Now or Never” by The Cast of High School Musical are about a group of high school students who are trying to win a basketball game before time runs out. The song talks about the importance of teamwork, making the most of the opportunities presented, and not wasting any chances. The chorus repeats 16 minutes which is the time they have left to win the game. The lyrics encourage the players to work hard and leave everything they have on the court. It is a celebratory and motivational song that pushes everyone to do their best.
The song was featured in High School Musical 3: Senior Year, which was the final installment of the High School Musical franchise. It was released in 2008 and became an instant hit among the target audience. The song was written by Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil and performed by Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Corbin Bleu, Monique Coleman, the late Chris Warren Jr., Olesya Rulin and Ryne Sanborn, who were the main actors in the movie.

WOW! You can clearly see how much better the production and quality was in the 3rd movie from the start.
Bill Sandiego
Keep in mind the first two were made for tv movies.
B.R
The last 2 were made for Disney since it was TV movie, while the 3rd movie was made for Theatrical viewing which is why the visual, and the graphic isn't as grainy as it was back in the two movies.
Deangelo Webber
@B.R yea cus that was the Turing point for tv when HD made it big
Mayte Acosta
