"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).

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.

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.

John 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.
