Notably, Abdul has released three studio albums so far: Forever Your Girl (1988), Spellbound (1991), and Head Over Heels (1995). Subsequent to that, she has for the most part been on a musical hiatus.
After her initial period of success, Abdul suffered a series of setbacks in her professional and personal life, until she found renewed fame and success in the 2000s as a celebrity judge on the television series American Idol (2001-2009).
In 2011, it was revealed that she would judge on the new show created by former partner in crime Simon Cowell, along with Island Def Jam owner L.A. Reid, and former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger. After the success of the show's first season however, Abdul, Scherzinger, and their host Steve Jones were fired by the staff.
In 2000, she co-wrote "Spinning Around", a dance-pop track intended to be the lead single off her new album. The album never materialized and "Spinning Around" was given to Kylie Minogue as a single. The song became highly successful and re-launched Minogue's career, as it was intended to do for Abdul, and reached #1 in numerous countries.
According to her official website, Abdul is working on a new album that is reportedly scheduled for release by the end of 2008. Her first single from the album Dance Like There's No Tomorrow was released March 11, 2008 and is also featured as the opening track in the multi-artist compilation album Randy Jackson's Music Club, Volume One.

Blowing Kisses in the Wind
Paula Abdul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your true heart
Say what you say
When you're all alone
I'm trying
Trying to try
And feel you
And see if I see
And all I want is
To get through
So baby, you'd see that the
Way you're leaving me
It won't do
It's like I'm...
Blowing kisses in the wind
Giving you love that you
Haven't been given
I cross my heart
And hope to die
I'm only wishing you'd
Love me like I
Blowing kisses in the wind
Waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting for you is
Like blowing, blowing kisses
So please baby, please
Release me
If time after time
Your heart's growing cold
I'm saying
If you don't believe
In believing
Then how could true love
Ever be so
And all I want is
To get through
So maybe you'd see that the
Way you're leaving me
It won't do
It's like I'm
Blowing kisses in the wind
Giving you love that you
Haven't been given
I cross my heart
And hope to die
I'm only wishing you'd
Love me like I
Blowing kisses in the wind
Waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting for you is
Like blowing, blowing kisses
Like I'm like blowing kisses
I'm some-biddy-bum-bum
Like I'm blowing kisses
And all I want is
To get through
So maybe you'd see that the
Way you're leaving me
It won't do
It's like I'm
Blowing kisses in the wind
Giving you love that you
Haven't been given
I cross my heart
And hope to die
I'm only wishing you'd
Love me like I
Blowing kisses in the wind
Waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting for you is
Like blowing, blowing kisses
Like I'm blowing
Kisses in the wind
Like I'm blowing
Kisses in the wind
Like I'm blowing
Kisses in the wind
Waiting for you us
Is like blowing,
