About Next to You

"Next to You" is a song by American recording artist Chris Brown, included as a track on his fourth studio album, F. A. M. E., released on March 18, 2011. The song features Canadian singer Justin Bieber. Brown co-wrote the song with Sevyn Streeter of American girl group RichGirl. Brown first revealed plans to collaborate with Bieber in December 2010, and the track is one of three tracks they worked together on, the others being a remix of Bieber's "Up" (2011) and "Don't Check on Me" from Brown's 2019 album Indigo. Musically, "Next to You" is a R&B and pop number, with lyrics pertaining to the love between two people in a relationship. Most music critics reviewed the song positively, complimenting the blending of Brown and Bieber's vocals. However, a common criticism of the track was how it stood out in comparison to the more lyrically explicit music on F. A. M. E.. After the release of the album, the song appeared on the music charts of the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It was released for digital download on June 24, 2011, as the album's fifth single. more »
