It's the best solution:

Other solutions:

You forgot set DataContext to UserControl1.

  public UserControl1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            ClickHereCommand = new RoutedCommand();
            CommandBindings.Add(new CommandBinding(ClickHereCommand, ClickHereExecuted));
            ButtonContent = "Click Here";
            this.DataContext = this;
        }

And after this you must delete in UserControl1 DataContext in Grid.

This:

you must change to this:

Solution without set DataContext in UserControl:

You must change ButtonContent and ClickHereCommand to DependencyProperty.

        public string ButtonContent
        {
            get { return (string)GetValue(ButtonContentProperty); }
            set { SetValue(ButtonContentProperty, value); }
        }

        public static readonly DependencyProperty ButtonContentProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register("ButtonContent", typeof(string), typeof(UserControl1), new UIPropertyMetadata(string.Empty));

        public RoutedCommand ClickHereCommand
        {
            get { return (RoutedCommand)GetValue(ClickHereCommandProperty); }
            set { SetValue(ClickHereCommandProperty, value); }
        }

        public static readonly DependencyProperty ClickHereCommandProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register("ClickHereCommand", typeof(RoutedCommand), typeof(UserControl1), new UIPropertyMetadata(null));

And in ctor of UserControl1:

 public UserControl1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        ClickHereCommand = new RoutedCommand();
        CommandBindings.Add(new CommandBinding(ClickHereCommand, ClickHereExecuted));            
        ButtonContent = "Click Here";
        //this.DataContext = this;
    }
