Play to Win is the fourth studio album by the British singer Gabrielle. It was the 191st best-selling album of 2004. The album's American-style Southern soul and country music flavours are a departure from Gabrielle's usual R&B–pop style.^[1]

The track "Sometimes" from this album appears on the Love Actually film soundtrack.^[2]
