Who remembers the single and mini-album Play - Play? If you were a child, tween, or teen during the beginning of the 21st century, then you will probably remember the female Europop group Play. Play came from Sweden, the breeding ground for tween/teen Europop groups such as ABBA, A-Teens, Supernatural, and Ace of Base. The album is nothing short of sweet pop sounds and love ballads with that early '00s sound.
Now their 2001 single was packaged as a mini-album by Columbia on CD. Remember those? This album is a nostalgic trip from the early part of the millennium. The Play mini-album was released to the United States in 2001 and was released to the rest of the world in 2002.
If love songs are not your cup of tea, then this album is not suggested for you. The single is nothing too special as these love songs have material similar to what you have before by love songs from other artists and musicians. Female Europop group Play takes the cake on their own single.
The Play - Play single was an enhanced CD that came with the Us Against The World and interviews of each member. The CD acted as more or less as an EPK (electronic press kit).
Play lets us know it’s them against the world on the song Us Against The World. The song has that early 00’s pop sound and vibe. Play's 2001 hit song Us Against the World was featured virtually everywhere in the early '00s. The song was featured in the Mary-Kate & Ashley film Holiday in the Sun and Disney's TV show Lizzie McGuire.
There is nothing better than to talk to you. If you have a problem, Play will be here for you as it’s them against the world. There is no one else that can say this. It's us against the world. They wonder if we are meant to be. The song is a testament of true love. No wonder this song became a kid pop sensation.
Hopelessly Devoted is a non-discreet love song about how a girl is in love with a boy only to have her heart broken by him. She ends up being hopelessly devoted to him.
There's no gettin' over that boy. He broke this girl’s poor heart. She cried her eyes out. Now she is heart broken. There's no gettin' over that. She is just a fool who's willing to sit around and wait for him. Can't you see? There's nothing else for het to do because she hopelessly devoted to him.There's nothing to hide she he pushed her love aside. Her heart holds on to the end.
I'm Gonna Make You Love Me was their song which featured Chris Trousdale of Dream Street. The song was a moderate hit single for the group in 2001. This song has that early 00’s pop sound.
This song is about a girl who does everything in her power to make a boy love her. She does everything for him to show him that her love is true. She’ll sacrifice for him and always do what's right for him. This girl is going to shower him with love and affection.
I Don't Get Down Like That is about how a girl tells a boy that she is taken and is already dating someone else. She does not get down like that or play any sort of games. Yet somehow this boy can take ‘no’ for an answer and constantly keeps on bugging her out in the world.
These lyrics explain how this girl don’t get down like that.:
I told you the scenario
I made it crystal clear
I spelled it out 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
And you don't really even know me
But every day you try to phone me
And I never call back cause I
Don't get down like that
The boy made a move at the movies where she and the girls were at. He tried to call and paged her too. She was already getting tired of him at this point. She don't play and never strays. You'd best believe as it's not her way to deceive.
These explain clearly what happened during that event.:
At the movies with my girls and me
You made a move, thought I didn't see
Then you look surprised - Don't you even try
You tried to call and ya paged me too
I think I'm gettin kinda tired of you
Is It Love is a short but sappy love song. It’s nothing special of what you’ve heard before or already. The lyrics are simple and very kiddy. No wonder this song became a kid pop sensation.
I rate this single 2/5**.
