Right Now (Rihanna song)

"Right Now" is a song recorded by Barbadian singer Rihanna featuring French DJ and producer David Guetta.

[2] Via her official Twitter account, Rihanna posted series of "teasing" tweets announcing her seventh studio album.

She later explicitly revealed the artist to be French disk-jockey David Guetta, announcing that he produced "Right Now" and another song "Phresh Out the Runway" for the album.

[5] "Right Now" was written by Rihanna, David Guetta, Ne-Yo, The-Dream, Giorgio Tuinfort, Nicky Romero, and Norwegian production duo Stargate.

The record engineers were Paul Norris and Aamir Yaqub, who were assisted by Xavier Stephenson at Metropolis Studios in London.

"[10] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com, the song is written in the key of E♭ minor with a moderately fast tempo of 130 beats per minute.

Smokey Fontaine for The Huffington Post praised the collaboration between Rihanna and Guetta, writing "'Right Now' is a future No.

"[7] Jon Caramanica for The New York Times positively critiqued the song, as well as the other Guetta produced track "Phresh Out the Runway" on the album, as they are "appealingly guttural" despite sounding harsh.

[12] Christina Lee for Idolator described the song as a "highlight" on Unapologetic,[10] while Robert Copsey for Digital Spy labelled it as "safe".

The debut scored Rihanna a record-extending thirty-sixth entry, extending her lead as the artist with most appearances on the chart since 1992.

With the feat, Rihanna moved into second place, ahead of Janet Jackson who has 19 leaders, among artists with the most number ones in the chart's 37-year history.

[28] Also in the same month, lager production company Budweiser announced that Rihanna had become a part of their global "Made For Music" campaign, also co-starring Jay-Z.

French disk-jockey David Guetta co-wrote and co-produced the song.
