On May 16, 2011, Sony Music and Underwood collectively announced the singer would travel to Australia in June 2011 to promote her Play On album for her first international headline tour.

During the tour's duration, Underwood would also release the Play On: Deluxe Edition exclusively to Australia.

[12] Play On had a score of 54 out of 100 from Metacritic based on "mixed or average reviews" from music critics.

He argues that "Carrie is still nominally a country artist and sometimes will sing supported by fiddles and steel guitar, but this is crossover pop pure and simple, whether it's the thundering rhythms on the Shania-styled strut "Cowboy Casanova" or the succession of maudlin melodies on the preponderance of power ballads.

Daly says that "Cowboy Casanova", "co-written by 50 Cent buddy Mike Elizondo, brazenly bites from both 'Before He Cheats' and 'Last Name'."

Underwood traveled to Australia for a promotional tour for the deluxe edition of Play On during June 2011.
