Written and produced by Oliver Leiber (son of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame lyricist Jerry Leiber), “Forever Your Girl” was originally titled “Small Town Girl.” The younger Leiber had written the song about a girl he was dating in Fargo, N.D.Īccording to, Leiber played the song for Abdul, who really liked it. In the end, she vows to remain faithful to her boyfriend because she’ll always love him and be “forever his girl.” She sings, “Baby, just remember I gave you my heart / ain’t no-one gonna tear us apart / Baby, he could promise me diamonds / even in he promised me pearls / honey, you know I ain’t lyin’ / listen as I tell it to the world.” Released in 1989 from the album of the same name, “Forever Your Girl” describes a romantic rivalry, where another boy attempts to win Abdul’s heart with promises of fine jewelry. Today, Paula Abdul sings about aggressive suitors and jealous boyfriends in her chart-topping signature song, “Forever Your Girl.” Welcome to Music Friday when we bring you hit songs with jewelry, gemstones or precious metals in the lyrics or title.
