Public Life is the third studio album by singer Eddie Schwartz. It was released in 1984 by WEA in Canada.
Lead single "Strike" was a minor hit in Canada, reaching #47 on the RPM charts. The second single, "Special Girl", was a top 20 hit on the Canadian Adult Contemporary charts. "Special Girl" became much better known in the U.S. for its near-simultaneous cover by the group America, whose version became a U.S. hit in September 1984. In the U.K., the song was a minor hit for Meat Loaf in early 1987. Asia recorded a cover of "Don't Come To Me" in 1995 for their album Arena, but was left off and was later included on the archives compilation Archiva 2.
