Bieber and Drake had been friends for several years prior to collaborating on "Right Here", with Drake appearing in the music video for Baby in 2010. A collaboration between the two Canadian artists was first teased in September 2010 when they both attended the MTV VMAs together, and in an interview Bieber teased his next studio album, saying "Drake is gonna be on that album", and Drake backing that up with "we'll make it happen". The collaboration finally came about two years later in 2012, with Bieber revealing the track on Capital FM on April 24 of that year. He said "The song's called 'Right Here' and it's a smash! It just rides so smoothly, It's me and Drake, so it's good." Bieber's manager Scooter Braun stating "The Drake thing is something he and Drake have been talking about for like two years," Braun said. "And then they finally went into the studio, and they wrote that song together. ... I'm glad that 'Right Here' came about. ... Drake was like, 'I don't want to do just a rap song. I want to sing with you, do a song for the ladies.' Everyone seems to love that song." One of the track's songwriters, Eric Bellinger, mentioned that during the recording process Bieber had requested for a table to be moved into the booth, right underneath the microphone. Bieber then used the table and his hands to create the drum pattern that was used in the track. Bellinger said "Justin, at that point, was just at a point in his life where he was fearless... and I think, as creators, the greatness comes when you're fearless". Lyric video
A lyric video for the song was uploaded on Bieber's official VEVO account on February 26, 2013. Charts
