Press Play is the fourth studio album by American hip hop recording artist Sean Combs, under the name "P. Diddy". It was released on October 17, 2006, by Bad Boy Records in a joint venture with Warner Music Group's Atlantic Records, serving as his only album with the label. Press Play was intended to be released under Combs' stage name of simply "Diddy", but a successful lawsuit from DJ Richard "Diddy" Dearlove prevented him from doing so; however, it was released under Combs' "Diddy" name in regions in which it was not registered.
