"Right Round" was written by Flo Rida, Dr. Luke, Kool Kojak, DJ Frank E, Philip Lawrence, Bruno Mars, Aaron Bay-Schuck, and Dead or Alive, the band whose 1984 song "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" is sampled in the chorus. The track was produced by Dr. Luke and Kool KojakR.O.O.T.S. (album liner notes). Atlantic Records. 2009. and features guest vocals from American pop singer Kesha, (who was not credited on the American release of the single).

Bruno Mars stated that the song was the first "big hit" he and his songwriting team, The Smeezingtons, had the chance to write: "We wrote 'Right Round' for Flo Rida. That was a sample, obviously, but we got our name in there and got some publishing. And it was a No. 1 record. That was our first taste of what could really happen with a hit we hundred-percented".{{cite magazine | url=https://ew.com/article/2010/04/13/bruno-mars-qa/ | title=So who is Bruno Mars?

Phil and I came up with that in two minutes. We were in the business after that! [Laughs]".

At the end of 2008, Luke was working on "Right Round" with Flo Rida and the two decided they needed a female hook. Luke pulled Kesha into the studio to record the vocals.{{citation|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/959321/keha-the-billboard-cover-story|first=Bill|last=Werde|title=Ke$ha: The Billboard Cover Story|date=February 19, 2010|access-date=February 28, 2010|magazine=Billboard|page=2}} According to Flo Rida, the song is about "a young lady, she might be in the strip club and she's got my head spinning round, [...] Or any young lady that I might see walking past me that's getting my attention. She got it going on! I'm going crazy over her."{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1605523/20090220/flo_rida.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090223115119/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1605523/20090220/flo_rida.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 23, 2009|title=Flo Rida Talks About Record-Breaking Single 'Right Round'|last=Reid|first=Shaheem|date=February 20, 2009|work=MTV|publisher=MTV Networks|access-date=December 19, 2009}}

Flo Rida explained that he listened to "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" and similar records growing up as a result of the varying music genres his seven sisters listened to. Ultimately, his A&R Aaron Bay-Schuck came up with the idea to sample "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" in a song.{{cite web |url=http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/opar/intrview_AaronBaySchuck_int.html |title=Interview with Aaron Bay-Schuck |publisher=HitQuarters|date=December 13, 2010 |access-date=December 14, 2010}} Bay-Schuck told HitQuarters that he had been listening to a shuffle beat produced by DJ Frank E on a CD of potential beats and had kept hearing in his head the melody of the Dead or Alive song over the top of it. Co-A&R Mike Caren then brought the sample to the attention of Flo Rida.

As R.O.O.T.S. was Flo Rida's second studio album, he wanted to show listeners musical growth by "broaden[ing] my horizons," which was why he decided to record the song.{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/08/flo.rida/index.html|title=Flo Rida answers the call|last=Cook|first=Shanon|date=April 8, 2009|website=CNN|publisher=Turner Broadcasting System, Inc|access-date=December 23, 2009}} After Luke produced the sample, the song was recorded.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/269268/listen-to-flo-ridas-sweet-new-single|title=Listen To Flo Rida's Sweet New Single|last=Concepcion|first=Mariel|date=March 6, 2009|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc|access-date=December 19, 2009}} In the same night the song was written Aaron Bay-Schuck, Bruno Mars and Philip Lawrance decided to go to the studio and make the initial recording.

Additionally, the chorus line "You spin my head right round, right round / When you go down, when you go down, down" can be interpreted as a reference to fellatio.{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1608865/20090408/flo_rida.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090411085107/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1608865/20090408/flo_rida.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 11, 2009|title=Will 'American Idol' Censor Flo Rida's Performance?|last=Kaufman|first=Gil|date=April 8, 2009|work=MTV|publisher=MTV Networks|access-date=December 23, 2009}} Bruno Mars, co-writer of the song, confirmed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that the song's chorus was referring to oral sex.{{cite magazine|url=http://music-mix.ew.com/2010/04/13/bruno-mars-qa/|title=So who is Bruno Mars?

It was him, Bruno Mars, and Aaron Bay-Schuck. Bay-Schuck was playing to Bruno and Philip some tracks and wanted to come up with something big for Flo Rida, and they were just throwing out 1980s ideas.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.americansongwriter.com/2013/09/philip-lawrence-bruno-mars-right-hand-man-goes-solo |title=Philip Lawrence: Bruno Mars' Right Hand Man Goes Solo |author=Rob LeDonne |magazine=American Songwriter |date=September 4, 2013 |access-date=October 13, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131012074639/http://www.americansongwriter.com/2013/09/philip-lawrence-bruno-mars-right-hand-man-goes-solo/ |archive-date=October 12, 2013 }} The song's sexual themes have been compared to those of "If U Seek Amy" (2009) by Britney Spears.{{cite web|url=http://top40.about.com/od/singles/gr/rightround.htm|title=Flo Rida – Right Round – Review of the single Right Round from Flo Rida's album R.O.O.T.S.|last=Lamb|first=Bill|work=About.com|publisher=The New York Times Company|access-date=December 19, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121115225425/http://top40.about.com/od/singles/gr/rightround.htm|archive-date=November 15, 2012|url-status=dead}}

Reviews for "Right Round" were mostly negative. A reviewer for The New York Times called the song "[b]ionic and empty".{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/06/arts/music/06choi.html?_r=1|title=New CDs |date=April 5, 2009|work=The New York Times|access-date=March 5, 2010}} In a review of R.O.O.T.S., Ken Capobianco of The Boston Globe stated, "His music is pure ear candy that must make Britney [Spears] envious, yet he wants to come off as a thug." He continued that it is unlikely that "Right Round" would have gone over well in Brooklyn in the '80s, calling it "as hard as Jell-O."{{cite web|url=http://www.boston.com/ae/music/cd_reviews/articles/2009/03/30/flo_rida_roots_route_of_overcoming_the_struggle/|title=Flo Rida, 'R.O.O.T.S.

He added that "Right Round" is "[f]illed with more misogyny than a 1970s working men's club", and called it "an unpleasant affair that's only saved from the trashcan by its sample." Fletcher concluded, "The fuzzy synths, electro beats and infectious chorus hook sung by Kesha are almost enough to fool the casual listener into enjoying themselves. But sadly it's never too long before Flo Rida turns up again to spoil things."{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.com/music/a148410/flo-rida-ft-keha-right-round.html|title=Flo Rida ft. Ke$ha: 'Right Round'|last=Fletcher|first=Alex|work=Digital Spy|date=March 4, 2009 |publisher=Digital Spy Limited|access-date=March 5, 2010}} Simon Vozick-Levinson of Entertainment Weekly called the song "a horrendous rap remake of Dead or Alive's 'You Spin Me Round (Like a Record).{{' "}} Noting that the song was, at the time, the number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, he added, "What does all this say about us as a society? Mainly that we really, really enjoy cheesetastic '80s hair-pop hits in whatever form we can get 'em, I guess."{{cite magazine|url=http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/02/20/flo-rida-right|title=Flo Rida comes 'Right Round' to the top of the charts|last=Vozick-Levinson|first=Simon|date=February 20, 2009|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|access-date=December 19, 2009}}

There were also a few positive reviews. One such review came from Fraser McAlpine of BBC, who opened, "It's one of the fundamental laws of pop, anything which tips a nod to 'You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)' by Dead Or Alive is going to be worth a listen." He continued, "Even though this is just a song written from the perspective of a randy man watching a pole-dancer and bragging about how much money he has [...] in a manner which would make Akon blush, there's just something kind of cute about the whole thing." McAlpine attributed this to the song's "Tigger-beat", explaining, "How can anything too sordid be going on when everyone is bouncing around like they're on spacehoppers?"{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/chartblog/2009/03/flo_rida_right_round.shtml|title=Flo Rida – 'Right Round'|last=McAlpine|first=Fraser|date=March 6, 2009|work=BBC|access-date=March 5, 2010}} Bill Lamb of About.com commented, "You will hear echoes of another pop classic, but the new song stands on its own feet." However, he noted that while pop music fans would appreciate it, hip hop listeners would likely dismiss it, and he added that "[i]t's not groundbreaking by any means".
