"That's Right" was initially confirmed as the fourth official single from "Ciara: The Evolution". It was initially meant to be the third UK single from the album. However, it was decided that "Can't Leave 'Em Alone" would be released instead. There were rumors that "That's Right" was slated for release as the next single after "Can't Leave 'Em Alone," but eventually it was cancelled for unknown reasons . It was one of three choices with "Like a Boy" and "Can't Leave 'Em Alone" for the second US single, according to Ciara's official MySpace voting poll. However, "Like a Boy" was released before polling was completed. The single was confirmed on Ciara's official MySpace blog. Critical reception. "That's Right" received positive reviews from music critics. Jill Menze of "Billboard" magazine called the song a "bass-heavy, dancefloor jam." Jody Rosen of "Entertainment Weekly" said the song "combines eerily quiet crooning with a squall of synthesizer buzzes and percussion clatter." Matt Cibula of "PopMatters" labelled it  as a "powerful booty-bass-lovin' bubble-crunk to the 9th degree." Bertan Budak of Ukmusic.com called it an "electrifying album opener." Budak continued to say Ciara sings with a "sexy mellow voice with Jon's in your face type rapping." Music video. The music video for "That's Right" was directed by The Fat Cats and filmed the day before the filming of "Can't Leave 'Em Alone." On July 11, 2007, a clip of the video videotaped by an unknown person, was released on the internet. On December 25, 2007 at midnight, the video became available for download  on Ciara's official MySpace blog. On January 15, 2008, "That's Right" premiered on BET's "106 & Park". The video begins with a close-out shot of a gas station, amongst which a telephone rings. The shot changes to where we see Ciara, Monica, and Ciara's head-choreographer, Jamaica, sitting in a car at a gas pump. Ciara sends the caller "straight to voice-mail" and begins to discuss how she's taking independence from her significant other. The shot changes again to where Lil Jon is shouting "I bet you won't get crunk!" Ciara proceeds to  ride down the street until she reaches a "food mart" where she dances to choreography along with male friends. The shot then changes to Ciara in all leather with her girls "gettin' crunk." They all begin to dance until the ending of the song where a distant fading shot of Ciara is shown.
