Time in Play
Janet had previously sent audition videos to Play's manager Laila Bagge and been an acquaintance of Anais Lameche. When original member Fanny Hamlin left the group Laila called Janet and asked her if she wanted to be a part of Play.

On December 15, 2003 an official press release informed fans that Janet, only 13 at the time, would be taking Faye's spot in the group.

Janet then went into the studio with Play and their third album, Don't Stop The Music, was released on March 9, 2004. They toured the United States on Radio Disney's Spring Thing Tour and then later in the year released a Christmas album, Play Around The Christmas Tree.
