Play In The Sunshine is the second track on the first disc of Prince’s ninth album Sign O’ The Times. A live version was also included in the concert movie Sign O’ The Times.

Basic tracking took place on 22 November 1986 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California during Susannah Melvoin’s final recording session with Prince (on the same day as adding overdubs to It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night) just eight days before completion of the Crystal Ball album. The track was initially included as the second track on the first disc on the 30 November 1986 configuration of Crystal Ball, which was eventually pared down and became Sign O’ The Times. The introductory piece acting as a segue from Sign O’ The Times to Play In The Sunshine on Sign O’ The Times was recorded on 15 January 1987 at Sunset Sound.
