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.

You've got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
That you keep that smile.

Yeah, you are my dream,
There's not a thing I won't do.
I'll give my life up for you,
'Cause you are my dream.

And baby, everything that I have is yours,
You will never go cold or hungry.
I'll be there when you're insecure,
Let you know that you're always lovely.
Girl, 'cause you are,
The only thing that I got right now

One day when the sky is falling,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
'Cause I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
You had my child,
You would make my life complete.
Just to have your eyes on little me,
That'd be mine forever.

And baby, everything that I have is yours
You will never go cold or hungry
I'll be there when you're insecure
Let you know that you're always lovely
Girl, 'cause you are,
The only thing that I got right now

One day when the sky is falling,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.

We're made for one another
Me and you
And I have no fear
I know we'll make it through

One day when the sky is falling
I'll be standing right next to you
Oh oh oh oh

One day when the sky is falling,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.

Oh nah nah
Oh yeah
Stand by my side, side, side
When the sky falls down
I'll be there, I'll be there

You've got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
To keep you forever.
Ooh
