Album Info Following Forever 's release in July, rumours had circulated around the internet regarding S.H.E's tenth album. On March 30, 2007, The Beijing News reported that S.H.E had begun filming a music video for "Chinese Words," the zhuda for their newest album. Mere hours later, Tom.com revealed that the new album would be called Play, quashing contradictory rumours about the album's name.On April 12, 2007, HIM announced that Play 's second single would be "May Day"; however, the song itself had nothing to do with the band. Mayday was so ecstatic that a song had been named after them that they promised to write songs for S.H.E in the future. After years of criticism for covering too many songs, S.H.E finally produced two pieces for this album. Selina and Ella collaborated to produce "Wifey" (老婆), while Hebe was responsible for "Say You Love Me" (說你愛我).The song "Listen to Yuan Wei-jen Playing Guitar"(聽袁惟仁彈吉他) was announced as part of Play on April 13.David Tao composed "Good Mood - Just be Yourself" in two versions, one for Play, and another for Rene Liu's newest album."好心情Just be yourself" became the successor to "Super Model" as Daphne Shoes' promotional song.
On April 20, HIM set up countdowns at S.H.E's Xuite and MSN Space to count down to the album's release date.
