"Play" is the second single from Jennifer Lopez's second album, J.Lo (2001). R&B-pop singer Christina Milian co-penned the song for Lopez before hitting the music scene herself. She also provides backup vocals in the chorus for the song.
The single was another hit for Jennifer Lopez, peaking at number eighteen on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play.
In 2004 South Korean girl group Baby V.O.X. covered "Play" in Korean and English for their final album, Ride West, with featured vocals from Lopez, though she does not appear in the music video.

The video, directed by Francis Lawrence, shows Lopez traveling on a futuristic, multi-level airplane.
The beginning of the video, shows Lopez walking stylishly into the boarding area of the plane, whilst the passengers turn their attention to her. The video then cuts to Lopez, now on the plane, relaxing with a pair of headphones on. Various shots from the outside of the plane are also intercut within the scene.
The next scene occurs (presumably) on a different level on the plane. Here, we see Lopez at the entrance of two sliding doors, with a completely different outfit and hairstyle. The doors lead into a club, filled with dancers and party goers everywhere. This scene again intercuts with shots of Lopez dancing solo on a platform, as well as with back-up dancers. It also has various shots of her in a yellow-lit room, and in a blue-lit room, where she dons a skimpy outfit.
The final scene in the video shows Lopez asking the DJ (who takes the avatar of an iris) to play her favourite song.
The final shot, shows the plane flying towards the horizon.
Apart from the actors, the video is entirely computer-generated and took six weeks in post-production to finish.
