Ain't Never Gonna Give You Up
"Ain't Never Gonna Give You Up" is a song by American singer and dancer Paula Abdul, released as the third and final single from her third studio album Head over Heels (1995). The track features background vocals from the vocal group Color Me Badd. It was written by Bryan Abrams, Elliot Wolff, Howie Tee, Kevin Thornton, Mark Calderon, and Curtis "Fitz" Williams, with Wolff producing the track. It was released on January 9, 1996 by Virgin Records. Following the moderate performance of "My Love Is For Real" and "Crazy Cool", which became Abdul's first single since 1988 to miss the top 40 in the U.S., "Ain't Never Gonna Give You Up" was even less of a chart success. It became Abdul's first official single to miss the US Billboard Hot 100 altogether and had little airplay on both radio and MTV. The track would be Abdul's last overall music release until her collaboration with American Idol judge Randy Jackson, "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow", in 2008, over 12 years later. Critical receptionJohn Perry from NME noted "the spankin' summery smooch" of "Ain't Never Gonna Give You Up".[2] Larry Flick of Billboard gave it a positive review saying, "Latest offering [...] is a springy pop/funk ditty that features a harmonious vocal appearance by Color Me Badd. The song is riddled with festive Staxx music references and amusing sing-along refrains."[3] Track listingUS, Australian, European single[4][5][6][7]
