"Play" is a song recorded by Swedish recording artist Robyn from her second studio album, My Truth (1999). She wrote the track in collaboration with Ulf Lindström and Johan Ekhé, who also handled its production. BMG Sweden released it as the album's second single on 12 July 1999, featuring the non-album song "Good Thang" as its B-side. Musically, "Play" contains some world music influences in its sound and a "playful" vibe.[1]

"Play" received positive critical response from music critics, and became Robyn's seventh consecutive top 40 entry on the Sverigetopplistan chart, where it peaked at number 31. The singer performed the song live while promoting its parent album, but the single itself received limited promotion. As in the case with My Truth, "Play" was not serviced outside of Sweden due to a dispute between Robyn and her international label, RCA Records.
