"Right by My Side" is an upbeat take on a downtempo ballad. So I reached out to Ester Dean and I said, 'Could you write something for Chris Brown?' Because she's amazing with writing and especially for his voice, she has a great skill to write for his tone and she sent it, I fell in love with it, you know 'cause everybody has had a relationship like this song is talking about, I went in and I wrote my rap, cause I'm rapping and singing in the song, and when we put it all together and let people hear it, everybody was like, this is a hit, release this ASAP." I actually had the beats for like 3 months just sitting in my computer and then I said, 'You know what? This sounds like a summer, R&B classic joint' and I just could not hear anyone else on it but Chris Brown. In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Minaj said about the song: "Toward the end of the album I wanted something more melodic that I could give to urban radio and that pop radio could enjoy as well. Minaj also performed the single during her surprise appearance at the Nokia Lumia 900 launch in Times Square.Ĭhris Brown ( pictured) appears on the song. Minaj performed the song live for the first time on 106 & Park on April 3, 2012. Critics noted the songs "bubbly" persona, as well as its high quality production. It was compared to several other songs, including Jordin Sparks " No Air", in which Brown was featured on, Rihanna's " You da One", and even Minaj's own track " Right Thru Me". Musically, "Right by My Side" is an upbeat ballad infused with elements of pop.
On March 27, 2012, "Right by My Side" was released as the second official single from the album to Rhythmic and Urban radio in the U.S.
"Right by My Side" was written by Ester Dean and Minaj, while production was handled by Pop & Oak. The song also features additional vocals from R&B artist Chris Brown. " Right by My Side" is a song by Trinidadian-American rapper and singer Nicki Minaj, taken from her second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012).
