"Steppin' Out" is a song written by Joe Jackson and originally included on his 1982 album Night and Day. The song is about the anticipation and excitement of a night out on the town.[1] Released as a single in October of 1982, it became Jackson's biggest Pop Singles chart hit in the U.S., peaking at number six. It was his second biggest hit on the UK Singles Chart, also reaching number six there. It was bested only by "It's Different For Girls", which reached number five in 1980. The music video for the song, directed by Steve Barron, featured a housekeeper pretending she was a Cinderella figure. It was filmed over one night in the St. Regis Hotel in New York City.[1] The song was covered by Fantastic Plastic Machine for their 1998 self-titled album.
In 2002, "Steppin' Out" appeared in the popular videogame Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, playing on pop radio station Flash FM. A loop of the instrumental portion of this song is used as the theme music for the WYES-TV (New Orleans) weekly arts and entertainment program, Steppin' Out.
