"'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. It was the fourth of Springfield's five Top 10 hits to date.

'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.

"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.
