Playin' Me is the debut studio album of British UK funky musician Merissa Campbell, known by her stage name as Cooly G. In the three years before the album was distributed, she had released singles and extended plays on Hyperdub such as "Up in My Head" / "Phat Si" and "Landscapes" / "It's Serious." It wasn't until more than a year before the release of Playin' Me that Campbell began work on a full-length debut album as suggested by Hyperdub founder Kode9. Previously-released cuts including "Up in My Head," "Landscapes," and "It's Serious" appeared on the album's final track listing.
