It was written by Monica and Lil Wayne along with Jozzy and Jamal "Polow da Don" Jones for her seventh studio album Code Red (2015), while production was helmed by the latter.

[3] An accompanying music video for "Just Right for Me" was directed by The Rite Brothers and filmed at Lil Wayne's private skatepark in Miami in late 2015.

Upon its premiere, Vibe remarked that "the rambunctious club track starts out with a stellar verse from Weezy – and Monica’s buttery vocals bring it all home".

The Polow Da Don-produced single loops up a warm soul sample, and Lil Wayne holds the door open.
