Living in the Present Future is the second studio album by Swedish rock singer-songwriter Eagle-Eye Cherry. It was released in 2000. Cherry worked with such producers as The Dust Brothers, John Kurzweg, and Rick Rubin.

Four songs from the album were released as singles: "Are You Still Having Fun?", "Long Way Around", "Promises Made" and "Feels So Right". The only single to experience success across multiple regions was "Are You Still Having Fun?", which reached the top 40 in France, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.[1] [2] "Long Way Around" became a minor hit in a few countries, but the following two singles did not make a commercial impact.
