Press Play is the fourth studio album by American rapper Sean Combs, under the names P. Diddy and Diddy. It was released on Monday October 16 and Tuesday October 17, 2006 respectively, by Bad Boy Records in a joint venture with Warner Music Group's Atlantic Records, serving as his only album with the label. Press Play was intended to be released under Combs' stage name of simply "Diddy", but a lawsuit from DJ Richard "Diddy" Dearlove effectively prevented him from doing so; however, it was released under Combs' "Diddy" name in regions in which it was not registered. Musically, Press Play predominantly features guest contributions from R&B and hip-hop performers including Nicole Scherzinger, Christina Aguilera, Keyshia Cole, Brandy, Jamie Foxx, Ciara, Nas, Timbaland, Mary J. Blige, CeeLo Green, Keri Hilson, Big Boi, Mario Winans, Avant and Fergie, among others. Primarily dance-pop and hip-hop-oriented in sound, it is a loose conceptual album with lyrical themes discussing the ups and downs of a relationship. The album was preceded by the single "Come to Me", which peaked within the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100. After the album's release, it spawned the singles "Tell Me", "Last Night" and "Through the Pain (She Told Me)". It became available to the preview on MTV's The Leak on October 10, 2006, one week before the album was sold in stores. Press Play received generally mixed to positive reviews from music critics.
