It debuted on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Charts at number 105. The song is expected to hit number 74 on the Billboard Hot 100 next week.
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.
