He has also performed the song several times with Danity Kane. Plus, he performed it three times with Nicole Scherzinger.

The song did chart on BET's 106 & Park, where it reached number four, and reached number one on MTV's Sucker Free. As of September 7, 2006, "Come to Me" was in the top ten in the United States iTunes Music Store.

The video begins in a city where a black van pulls up in an unknown alley. Then, the clock shows the time of 4:30 and Diddy is seen with his girlfriend in bed and it turns to face Cassie Ventura staring at the bed. Then, Cassie heard her cellphone ring and an unknown figure (revealed to be Scherzinger) starts telling her about Diddy showing up. As the music begins, Diddy wakes up and Cassie passes the phone to him. Meanwhile, Scherzinger is waiting inside a club where Diddy shows up and does the choreography while making eye contact with her. During the bridge, Diddy and Scherzinger both went upstairs to a dance on battle. After following Diddy in the flash of light, Scherzinger ends up in a maze with Diddy. Then, they see each other and the maze falls apart and the breakdown starts as Diddy and Scherzinger dance in a lighted room. At the end of the video, Scherzinger walks away and also Diddy stops her and both of them stare at each other with Diddy saying,"press play." The video ends with Diddy and Scherzinger staring at each other when a symbol of the press play shows in the middle.

To date, the song remains the most successful in the US and worldwide of Press Play.
