Legend also played the piano on Lauryn Hill's 1998 song "Everything is Everything" and sang background vocals on Jay-Z's "Encore" and Alicia Keys' "You Don't Know My Name". Legend frequently cites gospel, R&B, and hip hop music as his main musical influences.

Neo-soul singer and pianist John Legend combined the raw fervor of contemporaries Cody ChesnuTT and the burning precision of D'Angelo. Born John Stephens, Legend was a child prodigy who grew up in Ohio, where he began singing gospel and playing piano at the tender age of five. Legend left Ohio at 16 to attend college in Philadelphia, and it was there that he first found a larger audience. Not yet out of his teens, Legend was tapped to play piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything" in 1998. After completing college, he moved to New York, where he began to build a loyal following playing in nightclubs and releasing CDs that he would sell at shows. He also became an in-demand session musician, playing and occasionally writing for a wide array of artists, including Alicia Keys, Twista, Janet Jackson, and Kanye West. It wasn't until West signed the young talent to his new label that he adopted the Legend name with 2004's Solo Sessions Vol. 1: Live at the Knitting Factory. Get Lifted, his first studio album, was released later in the year. On the strength of enduring single "Ordinary People," the album reached the Top Five of the Billboard 200. This led to three Grammy Awards: Best R&B Album, Best R&B Male Vocal Performance, and Best New Artist. Once Again, which peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and number one on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, followed in October 2006. Live from Philadelphia, sold exclusively at Target stores, was a successful stopgap release that predated October 2008's Evolver.

I wanna kiss you underneath the stars
Maybe we'll go too far
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't care
You know I love it when you're loving me
I'm not ashamed, I don't care who sees
Us hugging and kissing, our love exhibition, oh
We'll rendezvous out on the fire escape
I'd like to set off an alarm today
The love emergency, don't make me wait
Just follow I'll lead you
I urgently need you
Let's go to the park
I wanna kiss you underneath the stars
Maybe we'll go too far
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't
Let's make love
Let's go somewhere they might discover us
Let's get lost in lust
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't care
I see you closing down the restaurant
Let's sneak and do it when your boss is gone
Everybody's leaving, we'll have some fun
Or maybe it's wrong but you're turning me on
Ooh, we'll take a visit to your mama's house
Creep to the bedroom while your mama's out
Maybe she'll hear it when we scream and shout
But we'll keep it rocking until she comes knocking, oh
Let's go to the park
I wanna kiss you underneath the stars
Maybe we'll go too far
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't
Let's make love
Let's go somewhere they might discover us
Let's get lost in lust
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't care
If we keep up all this fooling around
We'll be the talk of the town
I'll tell the world I've a love in the town
Let's open up the blinds 'cause we really don't mind
Ooh, I don't care about propriety
Let's break the rules, ignore society
Maybe our neighbor like to spy, it's true
So what if they watch when we do what we do
Oh, let's go to the park
I wanna kiss you underneath the stars
Maybe we'll go too far
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't
Let's make love
Let's go somewhere they might discover us
Let's get lost in lust
We just don't care
We just don't
In John Legend's song "P.D.A." or "Public Display of Affection," the singer talks about his love for his partner openly and shamelessly. He suggests taking their affection to a public place like a park, where they can kiss under the stars without caring about what others think. The singer is not only willing to express his love in public, but also urges his partner to do so. He believes that it's better when their love is displayed publicly rather than kept in secret. He even talks about sneaking and making love in inappropriate places like when everyone has left the restaurant or while visiting his partner's mother's house. The song implies that the singer is so much in love that nothing else matters when they are together.
The song reflects the contemporary culture of romanticizing public displays of love and how society's views on relationships have become more lenient over time. Nowadays, young couples are more open about their relationships and are comfortable sharing their love on social media, in public places or with the people around them. The song also shows a deep sense of commitment and passion between two individuals who are in love.
