In the video, the start shows Abdul and her dancers intertwined in complex poses. This then leads into scenes of her dancing and singing into a mic stand against a black backdrop with flowing red fabric. She is then seen singing with her band, with Randy Jackson on bass guitar. These scenes cut between Paula and her dancers performing routines and every so often graphics appear on the screen with a camera flash, framing the scene. In the middle there is a breakdown section, which is longer than on the single release version of the song. In the end, Paula is standing with the American Idol cast while glitter falls over the scene.

A second version of the video has been released with one minor edit: the ''American Idol'' cast have been removed.

"Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" is a song by American singer Paula Abdul and American musician Randy Jackson. It was Abdul's first single release in nearly twelve years. The song was produced by DEEKAY and Randy Jackson and appears on Jackson's album Randy Jackson's Music Club, Vol. 1.

Live performance

Jim Cantiello from MTV wrote, "sure, her pre-game performance of 'Dance Like There's No Tomorrow' was pretaped. And yes, it certainly looked like she was lip-syncing Cotillard-style. But I have to admit, I thought she nailed it."
