"Two Can Play That Game" is a song by R&B singer Bobby Brown from his album Bobby. The single release was remixed by K-Klass and originally reached No. 38 in the United Kingdom charts in June 1994.
In April 1995, it re-entered the chart, peaking at No. 3.
Time Out listed the song number 30 in their The 100 best party songs list in 2018, adding:
We don’t know who the harlot was that broke Bobby’s heart, but we’re glad she did. In cooking up a dish of sweet revenge, Boston’s Robert Brown unwittingly created one of the biggest party tunes of all time. The track may have started out as a smooth R&B gem, but less than a year after its release it was transformed by Welsh producers K-Klass into the piano house banger we’ve all been doing the running man to ever since.[3]
