Paula Abdul - Straight Up (Kevin Saunderson Club Mix) (US 12'') (1989)

"Forever Your Girl" is a song by American singer and choreographer Paula Abdul from her 1988 eponymous debut studio album. Written and produced by Oliver Leiber, who also produced her previous single "(It's Just) The Way that You Love Me", the single version was released on February 20, 1989, by Virgin Records. Following the unexpected success of "Straight Up", the song continued Abdul's newfound commercial success, becoming her second chart-topper on the Billboard Hot 100 for two consecutive weeks. "Forever Your Girl" spent two weeks at the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 in May 1989, reached number 28 on the Dance Club Songs chart, and number 11 on the Adult Contemporary chart. The song is about loyalty in a relationship. The female vocalist proclaims that, despite rumors that others may be interested in her, none of those matter because she will remain faithful to the man she loves; she will remain "forever his girl." The single version differs slightly from the album version, as it uses more of the background male vocal featuring the Wild Pair, Bruce DeShazer, and Marvin Gunn. The accompanying music video for the song was directed by David Fincher, and features Abdul acting as a choreographer and director of a children's performance. An 8-year old Elijah Wood appears in the video, playing the kid in the suit. It also parodies Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love video with three girls dressed like the women on the video.
