"Right There" is the third single off from Ariana Grande's debut album, Yours Truly. It features rapper Big Sean. The song peaked at #84 on the Billboard Hot 100. (See Chart Performances)

Background

Grande has referred to "Right There" as "sort of a sequel" to her first hit single "The Way" due to the songs' similarities in melody and composition. The singer spoke of the mutual interest she and rapper Big Sean felt in wanting to collaborate but mentioned that it took some time for them to find the right song. She said, "We were talking about a few other songs together but it just never worked out and it never was the right moment and then finally 'Right There' came along. And we were like 'Oh this is it'."

While the song was originally released as a promotional track available for immediate download with pre-orders of Yours Truly on iTunes, Grande stated in an interview that it evolved into a single on its own: ""Right There" is kind of about to be the next single. I think we're going to do a video for it soon. It's just because of what's naturally happened with "Right There". Radio's just sort of started picking it up and fans seem to really be responding to that one."

Music video

The music video for "Right There" was released on October 30, 2013. It shows Juliet (played by Ariana Grande) who finds Romeo (Patrick Schwarzenegger) at a masquerade ball. Also starring in the music video is Big Sean (who plays the priest). Notably, Elizabeth Gillies starred in this video. Ariana's half brother, Frankie briefly appears as well.

Lyrics

[Intro]
(If you wanna party, if you, if you wanna party)
Then put your hands up (Then put your hands up)
(If you wanna party, if you, if you wanna party)
Then put your hands up (Then put your hands up)
You got it, you got it baby, you got it, you got it baby
You got it, you got it baby, you got it, you got it baby

[Verse 1: Big Sean]
Sean Don!
Okay, this, this, this for my number one girl who got the top spot title
Spent a hour in the bathroom walked out looking like a model
God! Doing what you do, got me right there with Apollo
On the moon, Who needs genies in a bottle girl if they already got you?

[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]
Boy you make me feel so lucky
Finally the stars align
Never has it been so easy, to be in love
And to give you this heart of mine

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You know what I need, I know what you like
Put it all together baby, we could be alright
How could this be wrong when it feels so right?
Yeah, I really love you, I really love you oh
And I'll never let you go

[Chorus]
You should know, I'm never gonna change
I'm always gonna stay
You call for me, I'm right there (right there)
Right there (right there)
Cause you listen and you care
It's so different, no one compares
And if you never change, I'm gonna stay right there
I'll always be right there
You got it, you got it baby
You got it, you got it baby

[Verse 3]
And I get butterflies, just thinking
About you boy, you're on my mind
Sometimes I catch myself daydreaming
Lost in your eyes and I lose all track of time

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You know what I need,I know what you like
Put it all together baby, we could be alright
How could this be wrong when it feels so right
Yeah, I really need you, I really love you oh
And I'll never let you go

[Chorus]
You should know I'm never gonna change
I'm always gonna stay
You call for me, I'm right there (right there)
Right there (right there)
Cause you listen and you care
It's so different, no one compares
And if you never change, I'm gonna stay right there
I'll always be right there

[Verse 4: Big Sean]
(What, Okay, What)
Now if it all fell through would you catch me before the pavement?
If my Benz turned back to public transportation
Would you still be at home for me with the candles waiting?
And get my mind back adjacent to the place of a young visionary
A player too, you know I have some girls missionary
My black book of numbers thicker than the dictionary
And bible I got to recycle, I love and I like you
Five course meals even though you don't mind a drive-thru
That's why I got you
And I'll never let you go

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
You should know, I'm never gonna change
I'm always gonna stay
You call for me, I'm right there (right there)
Right there (right there)
Cause you listen and you care
It's so different, no one compares
And if you never change, I'm gonna stay right there
I'll always be right there

[Outro]
(If you wanna party, if you, if you wanna party)
You got it, I'll always be right there
(If you wanna party, if you, if you wanna party)
Then put your hands up (Then put your hands up)
I'll always be right there
You got it, You got it baby, you got it, you got it baby
You got it, You got it baby, you got it, you got it baby
You got it babe
