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, Anaïs 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, Anaïs 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 „Kult”. Additionally, He is the owner of the independent record label SP Records. The band was formed in the summer of 1998 by Slawek Pietrzak, ‘Pyza’ (the drummer who collaborated not only with Play, but first of all with Kasia Nosowska and Tymon Tymański) and Olaf Deriglasoff (The Captain’s Children, Pudelsi, Kazik, Apteka, Yugoton). The musicians recorded in ‘Slabe Studio SP’ 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 Stańko and Andrzej Smolik to cooperate. But there was still the unsolved issue of lyrics and vocalist. Then Slawek Pietrzak met Marek Śledziewski by chance while filming the videoclip „Andrzej Gołota” for Kazik Live. Śledziewski, the director of the videoclip, created the lyrics and sang them. The song „001” 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 (Kayah’s 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).

Hey hey
Hmm
lately, I been tryin' to ask you boy
If maybe, I can get much closer to you
I like the way that you move
And you're so innocent
Please don't take this wrong 'cause it's a compliment
I just wanna get with your flow
You've gotta learn to let go
Oh baby, won't you
Work it a little
Get hot, just a little
Meet me, in the middle
Let go, just a little bit more (just a little bit more)
Gimme just a little bit more
(Just a little)
Let me, I'll do anything if you just let me
(Come on baby)
Find a way to make you explore
I know you wanna break down those walls

And its so challenging
Getting close to you, what I'm imagining
I just wanna see you get down
You gotta let it all out
Oh baby, won't you
Work it a little
Get hot, just a little

The song “Just a Little” by Play is about a woman who wants to get closer to a man she is interested in. The lyrics are full of sexual innuendos, suggesting that she wants to explore more intimately with the man. The woman finds the guy innocent, and it becomes a compliment because of his shyness. She encourages him to let go of his inhibitions and work it a little, i.e., improve his style or dancing technique.
Throughout the song, the woman tries to convince the man to let himself go physically and emotionally, hence the repetition of ‘just a little bit more’ in the chorus. She wants him to meet her in the middle, indicating that they can have a mutual understanding and fulfill each other's desires. The woman knows that the man has walls up that she wants him to break down. She can't get enough of him, and she implores him to let her explore him further.
The song is catchy, upbeat, and full of energy. It encourages listeners to let loose and have fun without holding back. The lyrics are playful, daring, and flirtatious, which makes it a perfect song for parties and celebrations.
