Album trivia
Several songs on Replay are covers of the original versions by their respective artists:
- "Honey to the Bee" was originally sung and released as a single by British popstar Billie Piper.
- "Just A Little" was recorded with slightly more suggestive lyrics by British group Liberty X in 2001.
- Both Play and American-British girl group No Secrets recorded "Whole Again" in late 2002 - but it was originally a hit for British girl group Atomic Kitten just one year earlier.
- Play was one of many artists to record their version of the classic "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," which was originally performed in 1967 by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
Other songs on the album were later covered by other artists:
- Play was the first to record "What Is Love," but actress-singer Raven-Symoné covered this song in her 2004 album This Is My Time.
- Tata Young covered Play's song "I Must Not Chase The Boys" in her 2006 album Temperature Rising
- The German singer, Joana Zimmer, covered "Let's Get To The Love Part" for her second album, The Voice In Me.
- "2 Blocks Down" was used to write a Korean group Girls' Generation's song in their debut single "Beginning".
- "11 Out of 10" was later covered by the pop German group No Angels.
- "What is Love?" was later covered by Peter Andre.
- The Belgian singer, Natalia, covered "Unspeakable" in her 2004 album Back for More.
