"'''Right Here'''" is the title of a single by the group [[SWV]]. It charted on the Billboard Chart as a double-A-side single with "Downtown".

The original version of the song was released in the fourth quarter of 1992. It peaked at number 16 on the Hot R&B Singles. [[Tamara "Taj" Johnson]] wrote and performed the bridge to the original song, which would result in her first (of many) co-writing credits on SWV songs.

The remix, commonly referred to as ''Right Here/Human Nature'', samples [[Michael Jackson]]'s 1983 hit "[[Human Nature (Michael Jackson song)|Human Nature]]". It became a number-one [[contemporary R&B|R&B]] single, spending seven weeks at number-one on the US ''Billboard'' [[Hot R&B Singles]] chart, making it one of the longest running number-one R&B single of 1993. It also spent 3 weeks atop the [[Rhythmic Top 40]] chart. It peaked at number 2 on the [[Billboard Hot 100]] and reached the top ten in [[Europe]]. The song peaked at number 3 in the [[UK Singles Chart]] in September 1993<ref>http://www.chartstats.com/songinfo.php?id=21133</ref>.

''Right Here/Human Nature'' appears on the soundtrack and in the film ''[[Free Willy]]''. The first verse of the Human Nature remix varies slightly from the original version, and the rapped bridge is omitted. The remix also features a young [[Pharrell Williams]] saying "SWV" during the song.

Both versions of ''Right Here'' have music videos. The video to the original song beings with Coko discussing a man she likes to Taj and Lelee, It features the singers having flashbacks to boys they liked young girls, then is brought to present day with the women and their boyfriends. In between, the girls goof off together in a large, mirrored room. '''Right Here'' was the first of their videos to showcase the group's dancing skills.

The music video to the remixed version begins with SWV riding horses and fishing on an island's coast, and are shown performing with a band. playing instruments and ends with SWV riding their horses. An alternate version of the ''Human Nature'' video features scenes from ''Free Willy'' along with clips of Michael Jackson performing during the [[Dangerous Tour]].

The "Human Nature" remix is the more recognized version of the single, and is the version that is usually performed at SWV concerts. However, the original version (complete with the rapped bridge) is occasionally performed instead.
