"Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" is a dance-pop song by Paula Abdul and the lead single off Randy Jackson’s first studio album titled Randy Jackson's Music Club, Vol. 1. It is Paula Abdul's first single release in twelve years- her last was "Ain't Never Gonna Give You Up" in 1996.
The song was written by Lil' Eddie, Shae Patrick Skinner and Eritza Laues. It was produced by DEEKAY and Randy Jackson. Additional vocal production was done by Oliver Leiber, one of the producers on the hit album, "Forever Your Girl."
"Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" debuted on On Air with Ryan Seacrest on January 18, 2008 and was sent to U.S. radio stations the same day.
On January 22 the digital single was released to the iTunes Store and other digital download services.
Randy Jackson's Music Club, Vol. 1. was released on March 11, 2008. Although Jackson himself did not sing on Music Club, he did produce the entire album.

The music video was shot on January 21, 2008. Access Hollywood revealed that Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest would make cameos in the video and that Abdul choreographed all her own dance moves. Abdul co-directed the music video with Scott Speer.
A second version of the video was released with one minor edit: the American Idol cast was removed. Choreographer/dancer Tyce Diorio, who also danced with Paula on her "Under My Spell Tour" was the main choreographer for the music video.
The music video officially premiered on American Idol on February 21, 2008. On February 25, 2008, following the debut of the music video on American Idol, the song peaked at number 11 on US iTunes. The music video has received over 2.5 million views on YouTube.
Abdul and Jackson were scheduled to host the VIP stage featuring the world premiere of the music video for "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" at the 2007 Gridlock LA New Years Eve event at the Paramount Pictures Studio Lot in Hollywood, but their appearance was canceled as the video had not yet been filmed.
"Super Bowl Pre-Show" performance.
Paula Abdul pre-taped a performance of "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" that aired during the pre-game show for Super Bowl XLII.
Abdul performed a live dance routine with several back-up dancers while Jackson played bass guitar with the band including Oliver Leiber (“Forever Your Girl”, “Opposites Attract”.)
On February 3, 2008 during Abdul's Super Bowl XLII performance there were clips of the music video shown in the background.
As of March 6th 2008, the track topped the official iTunes Top 100 Videos chart. The song peaked at #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and peaked at #48 on the U.S. Billboard Pop 100 chart.
"Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" also charted at number 21 on the U.S. Digital Songs in March 2008, while in April it reached position 29 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary.
As a result of the success from “Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow”, Paula signed on to Filament Entertainment Group to record and released her next single, “I’m Just Here For The Music.”

Dance Like There's No Tomorrow
All I Wanna Do Is Stay Right Here On The Floor
Get Lost In The Night And Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow
Don’t Care About The Sunrise—
Someone Please Just Hit The Lights
All I Wanna Do Is Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow
Today Just Wasn't My Day
Everyone's Gettin' Me So Fed Up
I Gotta Find A Way
I Know What Can Make Me Feel Better
Steppin' Out In My Best
Lookin' Hotter Than Ever
Wherever The Party Is
That's Where I'll Be In A Second
Oh I'm So Ready To Move My Body
Forget About All My Problems
When I Hear My Song
I'm Gonna Lose Control
Hey Here I Go
All I Wanna Do Is Stay Right Here On The Floor
Get Lost In The Night And Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow
Don’t Care About The Sunrise—
Someone Please Just Hit The Lights
All I Wanna Do Is Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow
I'm Lovin The Atmosphere
Feels Like I'm Floatin' In Heaven
The Music's All In My Ear
Takin' Over Me, My Heart's Racin'
Feelin' So Hollywood
How I Got Everybody Starin'
Their Eyes Are The Cameras
And I'm Lovin' All The Attention
Get Up, 'Bout To Move My Body
Forget About All My Problems
They're Playin' My Song
I'm Gonna Lose Control
Hey Here I Go
All I Wanna Do Is Stay Right Here On The Floor
Get Lost In The Night And Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow
Don’t Care About The Sunrise—
Someone Please Just Hit The Lights
All I Wanna Do Is Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow
Please DJ, Don't Say It's The Last Call
Cause I Know What It Means, And I Don't Want You To Play No Slow Song
I'm Still Buildin' The Nerve To Talk To That Guy
Just Give Me Another Song And Make It Right
(Dance Break)
All I Wanna Do Is Stay Right Here On The Floor
Get Lost In The Night And Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow
Don’t Care About The Sunrise—
Someone Please Just Hit The Lights
All I Wanna Do Is Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow
All I Wanna Do Is Stay Right Here On The Floor
Get Lost In The Night And Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow
Don’t Care About The Sunrise—
Someone Please Just Hit The Lights
