Play (Chinese: 呸) is the thirteenth studio album by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai. It was released on November 15, 2014, by Warner and Eternal.[1] Produced by Starr Chen, Andrew Chen, Tiger Chung, JJ Lin, and Michael Lin, Play is primarily a pop and dance record with lyrics consisting of themes related to societal issues.[2]

Play was well received by music critics, with Bloomberg Businessweek highlighting the record for helping draw attention to the "world-class quality" of Chinese dance music.[2] It sold more than 85,000 copies in Taiwan,[3] becoming the year's highest-selling album by a female artist and the year's fourth highest-selling album overall in the country.[4]

The album earned ten Golden Melody Award nominations, making it one of the most nominated albums in the award ceremony's history.[5] It won Best Mandarin Album and Best Vocal Recording Album, while Andrew Chen won Best Single Producer for "Lip Reading".[6] Tsai embarked on her Play World Tour in May 2015, traveling throughout China, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and the United States.[7]
