The song was released on May 17, 2011, as the third single from the album by Interscope and associated record labels. As the third single, a remix was recorded featuring American rapper 50 Cent. The song was originally intended to be the first single to precede the album in the United States. Written by Ester Dean, Frank Romano, Daniel Morris, and co-written and produced by Jim Jonsin, it is an island-flavored midtempo R&B-pop song that sees Scherzinger singing about her what she wants her lover to do and warning other suitors to back off.
Upon its release, "Right There" was praised by critics for its urban production, which stood out from other disco-influenced songs on mainstream radio. Scherzinger also earned praise for the playful nature and Caribbean influences. Music critics compared the song to Bajan artist Rihanna, and her single "Rude Boy". Some critics lamented the song for having lazy lyrics and being overly sexual, critiques Scherzinger denied by calling it a love ballad.

The song was certified double platinum In Australia by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), as well gold in both the UK and the US by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), respectively. An accompanying music video, featuring 50 Cent, saw Scherzinger reunite with director Paul Hunter. It features a number of dance scenes set in downtown Los Angeles, with Scherzinger appearing in a Pocahontas-inspired outfit.
