"Right by Your Side" is a song by British pop duo Eurythmics. It was written by group members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart and produced by Stewart. The track was released as the second single in the UK from Eurythmics' third album Touch. "Right by Your Side" was the third single released from the album in the United States.

"Right by Your Side" was both lyrically and sonically different than the other songs on the Touch album as well as past singles released from the band. It is an uptempo love song which features a calypso music instrumental backdrop, complete with synthesized steel drum and marimba sounds as well as a horn section.

"Right by Your Side" became the fourth consecutive Eurythmics single to hit the Top 10 of the UK singles chart. It also climbed to number twenty-nine on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
