"Teenage Love Affair" is a song recorded by American singer–songwriter Alicia Keys for her third studio album As I Am (2007).

Written by Keys, Jack Splash, Matthew Kahane, and Harold Lilly, it was released as the third single from As I Am on April 22, 2008, by J Records.

[1] The track was produced by Keys and Splash and is based around a sample from The Temprees' 1972 song "(Girl) I Love You", written by Josephine Bridges, Carl Hampton, and Tom Nixon.

[4] After failing to pick up sufficient airplay in the UK, the physical single was canceled there and the song charted at number one hundred and ninety-nine.

According to Keys' official website and official fan club, the music video for "Teenage Love Affair", directed by Chris Robinson and Andrew Young (with whom she had previously worked with on 2001's "Fallin'" and 2003's "You Don't Know My Name", among others), was filmed at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey.

Derek Luke plays Keys' love interest, and Anthony Hamilton, Jackie Long, Albert Daniels, Tristan Wilds, and Tanisha Scott make cameo appearances in the video as well.

The video is based on Spike Lee's 1988 film School Daze, starring Laurence Fishburne, Tisha Campbell-Martin, and Kyme, among others.

[7] Giancarlo Esposito, the actor who portrayed Dean Big Brother Almighty in School Daze, makes a cameo appearance in the beginning of the video.
