"Dance Like There's No Tomorrow"
Song

"Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" is a dance-pop song by American singer Paula Abdul. It's Abdul's first single release in twelve years.

Song information

The song was written by Obi and Josh (known as DEEKAY), Lil' Eddie, Shae Patrick Skinner and Eritza Laues. The track was produced by DEEKAY and Randy Jackson. Additional vocal production was done by Oliver Leiber. Abdul sings in breathy vocals over a uptempo electronic beat. The song is Abdul's first single since "Ain't Never Gonna Give You Up" in 1996.

Release

The song was sent to American radio stations on January 18, 2008. On January 22 the digital single was released to the iTunes Store and other digital download services. It is the first single off Randy Jackson's debut album, Music Club: Volume 1 (2008).


Super Bowl performance

Paula Abdul pre-taped a performance that aired during the pre-game show for Super Bowl XLII. Abdul performed a dance routine with several back-up dancers while Jackson played guitar with the band. Although she did not sing live the performance still managed to receive favorable reviews. A reviewer from MTV wrote "sure, her pregame 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.".

Music video

The music video was shot, January 21, 2008. Access Hollywood revealed Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest make cameos in the video and that Abdul choreographed all her own dance moves. On February 3, 2008 during Abdul's Super Bowl XLII performance there were clips of the video being shown in the background. It has not been announced when the full video will be released.
