[8][9][10] The main accompanying melody and chord progression are sampled from the Joe Satriani song "Always with Me, Always with You" from his breakthrough 1987 album Surfing With the Alien.

[12] It has also been described lyrically as a Katy Perry-esque ballad, with Minaj singing about a lover who stands by her through thick and thin.

"[13] Erika Brooks Adickman of Idolator gave the song a positive review stating that, "The Harajuku Barbie doll reveals a more vulnerable side to her in this borderline romantic tune—that is until Nicki busts out the repetitive chorus 'How do you do that shit?'.

Musically, 'Right Through Me' is quite a departure from her drum-thumping 'Massive Attack', but it lacks the record-breaking rapper’s signature lyrical playfulness heard in 'Your Love'.

Every time we hear Nicki sing, “How do you do that shit?”, we can't help but think of the Insane Clown Posse's hilarious lyric in 'Miracles'.

'"[12] Paul Cantor of MTV News commented on the change in pace for Minaj, stating "One thing that's noticeably absent from the song is the different character voices Nicki's become known for.

"[13] A music video for the single was shot over the weekend of October 1, 2010, in Los Angeles and directed by Diane Martel.

[15][17] In the video Willy Monfret, a French Caribbean model & DJ, plays opposite of Minaj as her love interest.

Another fight takes place when Minaj tries to prevent Monfret from driving away by refusing to leave the driver's seat of his car.

[18] On the day of its premier Rap-Up commented on the music video positively stating, "Hip-hop’s Barbie, who trades in her colorful wigs for a more natural look, shows off her acting chops as she argues with her man.

"[15] James Montgomery of MTV Buzzworthy reviewed the music video during a behind a scenes look, stating "Yes, from her vast collection of neon wigs to her closet full of skintight outfits, Nicki is rarely, if ever, subtle.

Gone are the Kool-Aid accoutrements and Harajuku Barbie getups, replaced instead with a side of the rapper most of her fans have never seen before: a sensitive, softer one.

Instead of blond hair and futuristic outfits, Nicki looks like she's about to walk down Jamaica Avenue in 50 Cent's hometown.

"[18] An Idolator writer also gave the song a positive review stating "Our favorite thing about Nicki Minaj?

Witness: just two days after laughing it up in a cartoonish clip with will.i.am, she returns with what has to be her heaviest performance ever (yes, more so than Stuck On Broke) — watch her in a rare moment of vulnerability as she plays a disrespected woman in the just-premiered, 'borderline romantic' 'Right Thru Me'.
