"Right Thru Me" is a song by rapper Nicki Minaj. It was released on September 24, 2010 by Young Money, Cash Money, and Universal Motown as the second single from her debut studio album, Pink Friday (2010). The song was released as a digital download on September 24, 2010, before being serviced to urban and rhythmic radio on October 5, and then mainstream radio on November 2, 2010. The song charted on the US Billboard Hot 100, Australia, France and the United Kingdom.
"Right Thru Me" is a pop rap song featuring electronic beats and synths. Lyrically, Minaj wonders how a lover can see through her.
The music video was shot over the weekend of October 1, 2010, and was directed by Diane Martel and was later premiered on October 27. The concept is a boy-girl relationship drama and features Minaj and her love fighting and arguing, with him threatening to leave her while Minaj tries to apologize. The video was met with positive reviews from critics, with many calling it more natural and deep than her fun and costume-filled videos. Minaj has promoted the song in several live appearances on The Wendy Williams Show, Late Show with David Letterman, Live with Regis and Kelly, Saturday Night Live, and 106 & Park.
