[edit] Album Trivia

  • There are several cover versions of previously recorded songs on Don't Stop the Music. The album's title track was originally recorded and released as a single by Swedish singer Robyn Carlsson. "Every Little Step" was originally a track on Bobby Brown's 1988 album Don't Be Cruel. "Girls Can Too" is a reworked and reworded version of Nanase Aikawa's "Bye Bye" (later covered by Jennifer Ellison as "Bye Bye Boy"). "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," which also appeared on Play's previous album Replay featuring the vocals of former member Faye Hamlin, was originally performed by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. "It's the Hard Knock Life" is a slightly modified version of the song featuring in the popular musical Annie.
  • "It's the Hard Knock Life" was recorded two separate times - once with departing member Faye Hamlin, and once with incoming member Janet Leon. Faye appeared in the video version of the song, shot on behalf of the 20th Anniversary DVD release of Annie.
  • Two music videos for "everGirl" were shot. The first was a more conventional video shot in a Swedish classroom, and the second was a tour diary/performance video filmed in a New York mall.
  • In 2006, the song "Another Love Story" was featured in Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, for the Xbox 360.
