"Blowing Kisses in the Wind" is a song by American singer and dancer Paula Abdul, taken from her second studio album Spellbound (1991). Written by Peter Lord and produced by Lord and V. Jeffrey Smith, it was released as the album's third official single on October 17, 1991, exclusively to North America, Australia, and Japan, as the album's next single "Vibeology" would be released in Europe instead of this song. "Blowing Kisses in the Wind" utilizes the harpsichord. Sweet Pea Atkinson provided background vocals to the track.
The track became a commercial success, reaching numbers six and seven on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Canadian RPM Top Singles chart; in the former country, it is her most recent top-ten single to date. In 1998, it was ranked as the 26th most successful single by Virgin Records in the United States.
