A Public Affair is the fifth studio album by American pop singer Jessica Simpson. The album was released on August 26, 2006 in the United States by Epic Records. The album is Simpson's first effort following her divorce from Nick Lachey.[2][3]
The album was produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Cory Rooney, Scott Storch, Stargate and Lester Mendez. Simpson appears as a co-writer of nine of the thirteen songs on the album. A Public Affair received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who complimented its musical diversity from Simpson's previous albums, while also criticizing its length. The album debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 101,000 copies. A Public Affair has sold 500,000 units in the United States and over one million copies worldwide to date.[4][5]
Two singles were released from the record; the lead single "A Public Affair" became Simpson's sixth top-twenty single in the United States and her third song to reach number fourteen, tied with "With You" (2004) and "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" (2005).[6] The second and final single, "I Belong to Me", failed to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100, however, it charted at number 10 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100.[7] "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" was released as a promotional single. Her version of the song failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number twenty on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. Simpson's version contains new lyrics and only preserves the chorus of the song.[8]
