Don't Play Nice
"Don't Play Nice" is the debut single of English singer-songwriter Teddy Sinclair, who released the song under the name Verbalicious. The song was written by Sinclair, Mowgli, Hugo Lira, Thomas Gustafsson, and Tobias Lindell, with production helmed by the latter three. The song became a hit in the United Kingdom, reaching number 11 on the UK Singles Chart. It also found some success in Ireland, where it peaked at number 48. Background
The single was released commercially only in Ireland, Italy, and the United Kingdom. It is Teddy Sinclair's only single released under the name Verbalicious. Though the song charted well, due to poor sales, no album materialised. The song was released on the dance label All Around the World. The single was nominated for the 2005 Popjustice £20 Music Prize, but it lost to "Wake Me Up" by Girls Aloud. Track listings
