"I'm Right Here" is a song by Samantha Mumba, the first single release from her aborted second album Woman (2002). The single had poor sales despite its high #5 chart position in the UK, and it flopped on the US Hot 100 but reached #24 on the US Dance Chart. The poor performance of this single is believed to be the main reason why the release of Woman was canceled. Her manager, Louis Walsh, originally wanted her to record a song titled "Sound of the Underground", but she opted for this instead. The song later became a massive hit for British pop band Girls Aloud.
