[6] On January 29, 2014, media outlets reported that Tsai would have full creative control over the production of her upcoming album.

[9] On October 27, 2014, Tsai released the single "Play", which explores the humorous and absurd realities of modern life through its lyrics.

[10] On November 2, 2014, she released the official music video for the song and held a promotional event at the National Taiwan Museum in Taipei.

Most importantly, the soul of the song lies in Katie Lee's striking lyrics, which resonated widely and sparked much discussion.

"[23] Danial Chang, a music critic from PlayMusic, stated: "Every word and phrase in the lyrics precisely captures various aspects of modern life.

The narrative is instantly recognizable to anyone who listens, and the beauty lies in how everyday language hides deeper, thought-provoking issues.

"[24] Another PlayMusic critic, Chia Hsu, wrote: "This song excels in lyrics, composition, arrangement, performance, production, and mixing, scoring high in both popularity and entertainment value.

"[25] Yen Fu-min, a journalist for United Daily News, praised: "The Play album reveals a clear ambition for innovation, as seen in the collaboration with poet Hsia Yu on the lyrics of 'Play'.

Hsia Yu's meticulous social observations and sharp lyrics allow the song to break free from conventional dance tracks about love, instead exploring societal phenomena.

Music critic Jamie Lee remarked: "Another notable aspect of the album is Jolin's inclusion of satirical commentary on current social trends, such as in 'Play', which critiques the modern obsession with gyms not necessarily for health, the superficiality of hipster culture, and more.

With Katie Lee's brilliant lyrics, combined with Muh Chen and Grass Jelly's exquisite video production, this track elevates dance music, often lacking in substance or critique, to a whole new level.

[35] On December 31, 2015, Tsai participated in the New Year's Eve Concert organized by Jiangsu Television, where she also performed "Play".
