Eurobeat Wiki

"Play The Music" is the first Eurobeat song performed by Christian Codenotti and the first under his main alias Ace. It was produced and released in 2000, making its first appearance in the mixed compilation album "Super Eurobeat Presents Euromach 6" on September 16th; followed by being released in a vinyl single by Double Rec. in 2001, alongside of "Crazy For Love" by Dusty. The song was produced and composed by Stefano Castagna, and written by his wife Evelina Somenzi.

Around that year, Codenotti performed a short-promotional video for the song, recorded entirely in the recording studio of Ritmo & Blu Studios.

[Intro]
Play the music
(The music just turns me on)
(Music)
(The music just turns me on)

[Verse 1]
Let my spirit go
Let my body roll
I can feel the heat
Play The Music
Can you reach to me
In a wheel of freedom

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna see you dance by my side
I wanna feel the drums in the night
Yeah baby, can't wait 'till tomorrow
Fun is a touch and go

[Chorus - Repeat Twice]
Play The Music for me, for me, baby
And my music can set you free. Woah! Woah!
Play The Music for me, for me, baby
If you're standin' by the fire, you'll get burnt
Play The Music!

[Verse 2]
Dancing' next to me
Set my body free
Let me feel the beat
Play The Music
You can't stop me now
In a wheel of power
