Шаблон:Infobox song "Affair of the Heart" is a hit song performed by rock musician Rick Springfield. It was released as the lead single from his Platinum-certified Living in Oz album.

The song peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at No. 10 on the Cash Box Top 100 in mid-1983.[1] It was the fourth of Springfield's five Top 10 hits to date.[1]

Cash Box said the song "shows a greater use of synthesizers and a hardened guitar sound" than previous Springfield songs, but retains his ability to create a powerful refrain.[2]

"Affair of the Heart" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance in 1984, but lost to "Beat It" by Michael Jackson.[3]

At the premier of the live performance of “Live and Kickin’” in 1982, Rick was using a urinal in a public bathroom and some stranger came up to him and handed him a cassette saying “You gotta hear this song.  I wrote this song.  You’ll love it!”  a couple of months later while driving to the set of General Hospital, Rick played the cassette and hears the opening beats of the song.[4]
