Now & Forever: The Hits is the first greatest hits album by American girl group TLC. It was released by Arista Records on September 30, 2003, in Japan, on November 24, 2003, in the United Kingdom and on June 21, 2005, in North America.

The album comprises nearly all of their singles (excluding "Hands Up" and "Dear Lie") released between 1991 and 2003. Most of the tracks on the album are radio edits in order to fit all of the songs into one disc. The album contains tracks such as a 2003 production "Come Get Some", which featured Lil Jon and Sean Paul of YoungBloodz, and "Whoop De Woo", a leftover track from the 3D recording sessions. In September 2005, the album was reissued digitally to include "I Bet", the single which featured winner O'so Krispie from TLC's UPN reality television series R U the Girl.[2]

The album debuted to number 53 on the Billboard 200, selling approximately 26,000 copies in its first. It briefly reentered the Billboard 200 at number 169 in November 2013 following the premiere of the group's biopic CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story on VH1.
