At age six she began taking piano lessons and was soon singing at functions around town at the recommendation of her piano teacher.[5] She also sang the national anthem at local football games. In 2002, DeAnda's family decided to move to Corpus Christi in order to help advance her career in music since Corpus Christi had a reputation as a music hub.[6] She attended Mary Carroll High School.
DeAnda was the opening act for a concert which featured hip-hop artists, Nelly, Baby Bash and Frankie J. performing in front of twenty thousand people.[1][6] Her first single, "What Would It Take" was serviced to local radio stations in July, received airplay from ten radio stations across the country. Her next single "Doing Too Much" was released in December. It was then that she got the opportunity to audition for Clive Davis who signed her for a seven-album deal with Arista Records on the spot.
"Doing Too Much" served as the lead single to her self-titled debut album which was released in the summer of 2006, and charted in the Top50 of the Billboard Hot 100. It was later was certified gold in the US in 2007. Paula DeAnda charted at #54 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album mainly consists of songs about love and relationships and is of the pop-R&B genre. DeAnda co-wrote four songs on the album, which features production from Happy Perez among others. She was only 16 years old at the time of the album's released. Her second single "Walk Away (Remember Me)" (written by Christina Milian and Ne-Yo) was her biggest hit, reaching the top twenty on the Hot 100. The single was certified gold by the RIAA, becoming her second single to do so. Follow-up singles from her debut included "When It Was Me" and "Easy" which the latter featured rapper Lil Wayne. She later appeared in the MTV television film Super Sweet 16: The Movie.
In 2008, DeAnda began production on next effort, initially due in 2009. A buzz single "Stunned Out" was released and garnered some airplay, but the set's lead single ended up being the ballad "Roll the Credits", which was released with a music video was planned. Clive Davis left Arista's parent company at the time, RCA Label Group in 2008 to become the chief creative officer for Sony BMG. DeAnda also parted ways Arista following his departure.

Telling you I miss you
Baby, am I doing too much?
Why you trynna dis me
When I just wanna kiss you
Baby, am I doing too much?
Baby, tell me what's the issue
Baby, am I doing too much?
This is turning into
Something I ain't hip to
Baby, am I doing too much?
See you got me all alone
Waiting right here by the phone
For you to call me
Just to hear your voice tone
I keep on wonderin'
If you was even feelin' me
I keep on wonderin'
If this was even meant to be
Tell me am I wastin' time
Boy you're showin' me no signs
Is it cause you on your grind
Cause you always on my mind
I keep on wonderin'
If everything you said was true
I keep on wonderin'
If you were really coming through
Now here I go again
Blowing you up
And my girlfriends keep telling me
I'm doing too much
Oh, now here I go again
Blowing you up
And my girlfriends keep telling me
I'm doing too much
I'm leaving messages and voice-mails
Telling you I miss you
Baby, am I doing too much?
Why you trynna dis me
When I just wanna kiss you
Baby, am I doing too much?
Baby, tell me what's the issue
Who I give these lips to?
Baby, am I doing too much?
This is turning into
Something I ain't hip to
Baby, am I doing too much?
I'm out with my girls
Trynna have a good time
And you know I'm lookin' fly
Trynna meet someother guys
but it gets hard sometimes
Cause there ain't no one just like you
I try my best but I can't shake this
spell you got me through
All I can picture is the color of your eyes
And the way you make me smile
I ain't felt this in a while
But I came to the conclusion
That this is an illusion
Chaos and confusion
But I'm not goin' let it ruin
The way I feel about myself
Cause I got self-esteem
Sometimes I wonder
If I'm just chasing a fantasy
I'm leaving messages and voice-mails
Telling you I miss you
Baby, am I doing too much?
Why you trynna dis me
When I just wanna kiss you
Baby, am I doing too much?
Baby, tell me what's the issue
Who I give these lips to?
Baby, am I doing too much?
This is turning into
Something I ain't hip to
Baby, am I doing too much?

Just leave your name and number
And Imma holla at cha
Just leave your name and number
And Imma holla at cha
Just leave your name and number
And Imma holla at cha
'Round your way all day
Women in the hallway

Losing track of the people
Trynna call me
Don't take this the wrong way
I've been havin' long days
Doin' it, movin' 'round town
Where ever I'm gettin' my song played
Now here I go again
Blowing you up
And my girlfriends keep telling me

Oh, now here I go again
Blowing you up
And my girlfriends keep telling me
