Playing with Fire is a studio album by American dancer and rapper Kevin Federline, released on October 31, 2006, through Federline Records. The album's executive producer was Federline's then-wife Britney Spears, who also contributed vocals to "Crazy". She and Federline composed two tracks that did not get included in the album. Contributions to the album's production came from a variety of producers and songwriters, including DJ Bosko Stix Baby, J. R. Rotem, and Versatile. Reception to Playing with Fire by music critics was overwhelmingly negative, and it is currently the lowest-rated album on review aggregator Metacritic.
The planned lead single, "PopoZão", was produced by Disco D in a style influenced by Brazilian funk carioca and cowritten by Spears. Released in January 2006, the single was panned by critics and removed from the album in response. "Lose Control" was provided a download-only release in October 2006 and premiered with a performance at the 2006 Teen Choice Awards. Playing with Fire debuted at number 151 on the Billboard 200, with sales of 6,000 copies, and has sold over 16,000 copies in the United States according to Nielsen Soundscan.
