“Play For Today” was the second single from "Seventeen Seconds". It was one of the earliest songs written for the album, completed before the previous album "Three Imaginary Boys" was released.
It was included on the CD release of the band’s first singles collection Staring At The Sea, but not included on the cassette edition Standing On A Beach.
When Lol Tolhurst was asked which song got the best crowd reaction live, he responded:
"Cure fans always sing along to the keyboard line of “Play For Today,” which is pretty wonderful to experience!"
As part of a Q&A in the Cure News #6 fanzine from 1989, frontman Robert Smith had this to say on the song’s inspiration:
"the fraudulent aspects of an insincere relationship."
