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.
Legend released his critically acclaimed and Billboard Top Ten second album, Once Again, in October 2006. Produced by Raphael Saadiq, Kanye West and will.i.am, it is again a mixture of gospel and classic soul showcasing his extraordinary voice, particularly on "Show Me".

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 you when you loving me
I´m not ashamed I don´t care who sees
Just hugging & kissing our love exhibition all
We rendezvous out on the fire escape
I like to set up 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 lies
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 turn me on
Ooh, we´ll take a visit to your Mama´s house
Creep to the bedroom while your Mama´s out
Maybe she will hear it when we scream and shout
And we will keep it rocking until she comes knocking
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 lies
We just don´t care
We just don´t care
We just don´t care
If we keep up on this fooling around
We'll be the talk of the town
I´ll tell the world I´m in love any time
Let´s open up the blinds cause we really don´t mind
Ooh I don't care about the priority
Let´s break the rules and ignore society
Maybe our neighbor like to spy too
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
The lyrics to John Legend's song "P.D.A" are about a couple who don't care what anyone thinks about their love and want to express it publicly, whether it's by kissing under the stars in the park or having sex in unusual places like the fire escape and at someone's house while they're away. They are unashamedly in love and willing to break societal norms to express it. The song speaks to the idea of societal norms and the pressure to conform to them when it comes to expressing love and affection. It urges the listeners to break free and express love freely without fear of judgment.
