Out of the Blue is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Deborah Gibson, then known as Debbie Gibson. Gibson personally wrote all ten songs on this album. As executive producer, Douglas Breitbart of Broadbeard Productions, Inc. (whom Gibson's mother had hired as manager five years before), assembled a team of producers from both New York and Florida: Fred Zarr, John Morales, Sergio Munzibai and Lewis A. Martineé.

Zarr produced "Shake Your Love" and "Fallen Angel" in addition to "Only in My Dreams," and co-produced "Out of the Blue," "Staying Together" and "Wake Up to Love" with Gibson, sole producer for "Foolish Beat." Morales and Munzibai produced "Red Hot" and "Between the Lines." Martineé produced "Play the Field".

Out of the Blue made #7 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Albums chart and #26 on the U.K. album chart. The album sold over 3 million copies in the United States (over 8 million worldwide) and was certified 3x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
