"Play That Song" is a song by Puerto Rican-American rapper and record producer Tony Touch from his debut Spanish-language reggaetón album and fourth overall studio album The ReggaeTony Album (2005). It features guest vocals from Puerto Rican-American female duo Nina Sky and American rapper B-Real. The track was written by Natalie Albino, Nicole Albino, Vladimir Felix, Louis Freeze, Stephen Hague, Joseph Hernandez, Malcolm McLaren, Ronald Larkins, Robert Andrews and Tyrone Price. It was released digitally on September 25, 2005 as the lead single from the album, preceding "Saca La Semilla" with Ivy Queen and Gran Omar.
The song, however, was already "bubbling up the charts" prior to its official release. It was also later included on Nina Sky's second studio album La Conexion (2005) among other albums. It reached the Top 15 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, peaking at #13 and Top 25 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs reaching #22. It also managed to peak at #31 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, peaking at number seven and number five on the Billboard Latin Tropical Airplay and Billboard Latin Rhythm Airplay charts respectively.
Following the commercial failure of Tony Touch's second studio album The Piece Maker 2 (2004), which was a sequel to his critically acclaimed debut studio album, Touch decided to move away from his style of New York Hip Hop music, only to combine it with Latin reggaetón on his next release The ReggaeTony Album in 2005.
