"Swagger Right" is the second single by R&B girl group RichGirl, originally expected to be on their self-titled debut album RichGirl, which was later shelved following the group's disbandment. The single was written and produced by Dre & Vidal, and features additional writing from the song's featured rappers, Jason Boyd, John Jackson, and William Roberts. The song was released September 28, 2010 on iTunes. "Swagger Right" is credited as the last song officially released by the group before disbanding shortly after.
"Swagger Right" gained mixed reviews from critics, most of whom complimented the group by comparing them to Destiny's Child, but stated that the song comes off a bit weak as a breakthrough single. A music video for the single was shot and directed by Colin Tilley, and was released October 7, 2010. The video gained acclaim for its organic setting and simple scenery.
The song was produced by Dre & Vidal, and features writing from Jason Boyd, Vidal Davis, Andre Harris, John Jackson, William Roberts. The song's original demo was released on a free EP distributed by the girls' official website, and was labeled under its original title track "Get Ya Swagga Right". Following the group's debut single, "He Ain't wit Me Now (Tho)", it was later announced that "Swagger Right" would be the official second single and would be remixed to feature rappers Fabolous and Rick Ross for the song's official release. "Swagger Right" was released on American iTunes Stores September 29, 2010. Replacing Fabolous' verse, Brave of RichGirl additionally created her own verse for the song, which was released through their official Twitter for free download.
To promote the song's release, the girls released webisodes, titled "The Swagger Series", on their official website, and accumulated up to eleven episodes. The webisodes included insight from each member in the group about "", tackling different scenarios involving swag, and allow insight into each member of the group and their personal reflection on the past years together. The webisodes were released weekly, later leading into the singles music video release.
