1) Hailing from Sweden, Play encompasses pop and r&b to create a youthful sound. Formed in 2000 by Laila Bagge, Play was made up of 4 girls; Anna Sundstrand, AnaĆÆs Lameche, Rosie Munter, and Faye Hamlin. With this lineup they released 2 albums and toured with acts such as Destiny's Child and Aaron Carter. Between late 2003 and the middle of 2004 Faye Hamlin decided to leave the group and Janet Leon joined. The girls soon released a 3rd album, titled Don't Stop The Music, and joined the Spring Thing Tour with acts such as Jump5 and Stevie Brock. Later in 2004 the girls also released a christmas album, and proceeded with a small tour to promote the album. Between the releases of the last two albums, Play made the move from Columbia records to a smaller label from which the christmas album was released. News about the girls nearly dried up as rumors circled about the withstanding of the group. This was even more intensified with Columbia's release of Girls Mind, a "best of" album from the groups previous line-up with Faye Hamlin. It was later confirmed in September 2005 that the group had decided to call it quits.
In 2009, two of the original members of the group, AnaĆÆs Lemeche and Fanny ("Faye") Hamlin, decided to rejoin and release a cd. They contacted their previous manager Laila Bagge who welcomed them with open arms. They found a third member in Sanne Karlsson. Their work towards a successful album launch could be followed on the Swedish tv show "Made In Sweden".

4) Play is also the name of a Polish electro artist.
Play is a project of Slawek Pietrzak, the former guitarist of the famous vocalist Kazik and his band āKultā. Additionally, He is the owner of the independent record label SP Records. The band was formed in the summer of 1998 by Slawek Pietrzak, āPyzaā (the drummer who collaborated not only with Play, but first of all with Kasia Nosowska and Tymon TymaÅski) and Olaf Deriglasoff (The Captainās Children, Pudelsi, Kazik, Apteka, Yugoton). The musicians recorded in āSlabe Studio SPā firstly rough sketches - their own ideas and compositions - with the invaluable help of Slawek Janowski. For two years Slawek Pietrzak (on and off, while dividing his time between running the company and collaborating with Kazik Staszewski), was enriching the songs and sound tracks as best He could with new musical lines and adding unusual, amazing sounds on his own. When the album was almost completed, He invited Tomasz StaÅko and Andrzej Smolik to cooperate. But there was still the unsolved issue of lyrics and vocalist. Then Slawek Pietrzak met Marek Åledziewski by chance while filming the videoclip āAndrzej GoÅotaā for Kazik Live. Åledziewski, the director of the videoclip, created the lyrics and sang them. The song ā001ā was released in 2001 as the first single to promote the forthcoming new album. Meanwhile, new material had been gathered and the new album was ready for release. New artists took part in the creative process e.g. Artur Affek (Kayahās guitarist), Dj Feel X (Kaliber 44) and Kasia Nowicka (Novika).
The whole album was recorded by co-producers Slawek Janowski and Sebastian Witkowski (who also played on the keyboards).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I knew the game with just one look
What your all about
There could be no doubt
You know I got someone it's plain to see
But even still you try to talk to me
Like ya didn't know, boy it's time to go
I made it crystal clear
I spelled it from A to Z
But which part of no don't you hear?
I told you I'm already taken'
And that's a move I won't be makin'
I made a vow I'm never breakin'
It's a matter of fact, that I don't get down like that
Ya know I've got a one and only
you don't really even know me
But everyday you try to phone me
And I never call back 'cause I don't get down like that
At the movie with my girls and me
You made a move thought I didn't see
Then you looked surprise-Don't you even try
You tried to call and ya paged me too
I think I'm getting kinda tired of you
And the same ol' line-do ya think I'm blind
You don't know what I'm all about
But boy you best believe
I don't play and I never stray
Cause' it's not my way to deceive
I told you I'm already taken'
And that's a move I won't be makin'
I made a vow I'm never breakin'
It's a matter of fact, that I don't get down like that
Ya know I've got a one and only
you don't really even know me
But everyday you try to phone me
And I never call back 'cause I don't get down like that
You say it'll be alright
It's just between me and you
But creepin' 'round on the low-low
Is one thing I'll never do-am I getting through?
Don't want to play all the games you play
You make me laugh with the things you say
Don't waste your time you should walk away
Save it for another fool
Another day
The song "I Don't Get Down Like That" by Play is a song about a woman who is in a committed relationship and is not interested in pursuing any romantic advances from another man. The lyrics suggest that the woman has already made it clear to the man in question that she is not interested, but he continues to pursue her regardless. The song emphasizes the woman's commitment to her partner and her unwillingness to cheat or deceive him in any way. The lyrics demonstrate a strong sense of loyalty and honesty, as well as the importance of communication in relationships.
Throughout the song, the woman is portrayed as confident and assertive. She knows what she wants and is not afraid to say "no" to someone who is trying to push her boundaries. Despite the man's persistence, she remains firm in her stance and refuses to give in. The song sends a positive message about setting healthy boundaries and respecting other people's relationships.
Overall, "I Don't Get Down Like That" is a catchy and empowering song that encourages listeners to stand up for themselves and their relationships. It is a reminder that loyalty and honesty are essential qualities in any healthy relationship and that pursuing someone who is already committed to someone else is never a good idea.
