It's About Time is the debut studio album by American female R&B trio SWV, released by RCA Records on October 27, 1992 (see 1992 in music). It was certified triple platinum by the RIAA for more than three million copies shipped to store, and it spawned five hit singles with "I'm So into You", "Downtown", "Weak", a remixed version of "Right Here/Human Nature" (the latter two reached #1 on the R&B singles chart, with "Weak" being their biggest pop hit at #1), and "You're Always On My Mind" (shortened to "Always On My Mind" for single release). A remixed version of "Anything" appeared on the soundtrack of the film Above the Rim in 1994 and was released as the final single from It's About Time.

In 1993, the group earned 11 Billboard Music Award nominations for their debut album. In October 2004, I'm So into You appeared in popular videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on fictional new jack swing radio station CSR 103.9.

In 1996, the album was certified 3x platinum, for shipping over 3,000,000 albums in the U.S. alone.[4]
