A PUBLIC AFFAIR
The first single from Jessica Simpson's fourth studio album A Public Affair (2006). It features an interpolation of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough".
The single's video was shot on June 23, 2006 and the late evening of June 24, 2006 at the Moonlight Rollerway in Glendale, California.[3] It features cameo appearances by Eva Longoria, Christina Milian, Christina Applegate, Maria Menounos, Andy Dick and Ryan Seacrest. It introduces Australian Reshad Strik, whose participation was very commented on the fact of his resemblance to Nick Lachey.
The Yahoo! Music download of the song gained media attention because it was made available in MP3 format, without Digital Rights Management, which is normally used to restrict copying of commercially released singles. However, the price to download the song was $1.99, higher than the $0.99 norm for most DRM-restricted tracks. The increased price was rationalized not by the DRM-free format, but by offering users the ability to "personalize" the song with a specific name.
A Public Affair" was sent out to the Grammys for approval for Best Dance Recording nomination but failed to get nominated.

LYRICS
There go the street lights - the night's officially on,
I got the green light - to do what ever we want,
Gonna stand - outside - the box - and put the rules on hold,

Tonight
Carte blanche, first class for the evening
Ready, set, go

All the girls stepping out for a public affair
(All night, that's right 'cause the party don't stop)
All the cameras come out for a public affair
(Who cares, let's rock, 'cause the party don't stop)

Hey Baby, I see you looking over here baby
Are you gonna keep looking - or get up?
And talk to me
Here's an opportunity that you don't wanna miss tonight

...got plans first class for the evening

Ready. Set. Go.

All the girls stepping out for a public affair
(All night (all night), that's right (that's right) 'cause the party don't stop (don't stop, ooh))
All the cameras come out for a public affair
(Who cares (who cares), let's rock (let's rock), 'cause the party don't stop (don't stop, ooh))

Do what you wanna do, tonight the world does not exist
No, no, no, no
Move how you wanna move, all my girls work it out - like this

Give me room to shake, shake, shake

All the girls stepping out for a public affair
(All night (all night), that's right (that's right) 'cause the party don't stop (don't stop, ooh))
All the cameras come out for a public affair
(Who cares (who cares), let's rock (let's rock), 'cause the party don't stop (don't stop, ooh))

All the girls stepping out for a public affair
(All night (all night), that's right (that's right) 'cause the party don't stop (don't stop, ooh))
All the cameras come out for a public affair
(Who cares (who cares), let's rock (let's rock), 'cause the party don't stop (don't stop, ooh))

All night don't stop,
[giggle],
Who cares, let's rock?
Who cares, let's rock?
All night don't stop (don't stop, don't stop)
Who cares, let's rock

Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
Hey Baby
Ahhh ohh ohh ohh
Ahhh ohh ohh

All the girls stepping out for a public affair
(All night, that's right cos the party don't stop)
All the cameras come out for a public affair
(Who cares, let's rock, cos the party don't stop)
(Stop, stop, stop)
