Playing with Fire is the second studio album by American country music singer Jennifer Nettles. It was released on May 13, 2016, by Big Machine Records. This is her first album with Big Machine after parting ways with Mercury Nashville. Ten of the album's twelve tracks were written or co-written by Nettles. Produced by Dann Huff, the album also features a collaboration with singer Jennifer Lopez, titled "My House".
On making the record Nettles says "The way I approached this whole project was different because I'm a different person than I was several years ago, I have different stories to tell; I have different experiences now." Nettles describes the album as "marrying traditional country styles with newer ones."
Playing with Fire debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 10, and Top Country Albums at No. 2, selling 30,800 copies in the first week.
As of February 2017, the album has sold 99,400 copies in the US.
