'Opposites Attract' also topped the charts in Australia, and peaked at #2 in the United Kingdom. Although the single was released at the end of 1989, the song itself is considered one of the first popular songs of the 1990s. It became Abdul's fourth #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 and made her only the fourth artist in music history to score four #1 hits from a single album, after Whitney Houston, George Michael and Michael Jackson. The single initially rose from #72 to #47 the week of December 23, 1989, and landed at #1 the week of February 10, 1990, where it remained for three weeks, matching the run of 'Straight Up'. 'Opposites Attract' became one of the most popular R&B and dance-pop singles of 1990. The song also appeared in the television version of the political thriller A Very British Coup. The Australian sketch comedy show Fast Forward parody of the song had Humphrey B.

The song was covered by American indie band Mirror Ball Associates for the album Covers Vol. The video won Abdul a Grammy Award in 1991 for 'Best Short Form Music Video'. Also shown in the video are Micetro, Taboo, and Fatz, yet their names weren't revealed until the release of The Adventures of MC Skat Kat and the Stray Mob. MC Skat Kat was animated by members of the Disney animation team, working outside the studio between major projects, under the direction of Chris Bailey. Paula even choreographed the animated character's moves to match her live-action dance moves in the video. The idea of MC Skat Kat came from the Gene Kelly film Anchors Aweigh, where Kelly dances with Jerry Mouse from the Tom and Jerry cartoon series. An additional rap was provided by Derrick 'Delite' Stevens for the Street mix version of the song, which was edited for the 7'/video. The music video adds an intro rap performed by Romany Malco. The song is distinctive for its colorful music video created and directed by Candace Reckinger & Michael Patterson, in which Abdul dances with cartoon character MC Skat Kat, voiced by 'The Wild Pair'.

The lyrics are about a couple who love each other despite being different in just about every way possible.
