"In Public" is a song by American R&B singer-songwriter Kelis, featuring American rapper Nas. It was written by Rockwilder and Kelis and produced by Rockwilder for Kelis' third studio album, Tasty (2003). As the song title implies, its lyrics deal with public sex.
The song was released in the United Kingdom and Ireland as the album's fourth and final single in early April 2005. Like previous hits "Trick Me" and "Millionaire", "Trick Me" was not released in Kelis' native United States. Although no video was made for the song, it still managed to make it onto the UK Singles Chart, concretely landing at number seventeen, due to strong radio and club play. The track was originally due to be released as a double A-side single with the Raphael Saadiq-produced "Glow"; this did not happen and a reason for the change has never been given.

Famous quotes containing the word public:
“The true poem is not that which the public read. There is always a poem not printed on paper,... in the poet’s life. It is what he has become through his work. Not how is the idea expressed in stone, or on canvas or paper, is the question, but how far it has obtained form and expression in the life of the artist. His true work will not stand in any prince’s gallery.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
