“Push“ is a song by American rock band Matchbox 20. It was released in 1997 as the second single from their debut album, Yourself or Someone Like You (1996). After landing “Long Day“ on several rock radio stations paving the way, “Push“ topped the US Modern Rock Tracks chart and became one of the band’s signature songs. Composition: Vocalist Rob Thomas wrote the lyrics to “Push“ with Matt Serletic. The song’s lyrics are about the stress of falling in and out of love. Thomas stated that the man in the song (either himself or fictional) was the one being abused, either emotionally or physically, by a woman. Later after its release, some feminist groups were outraged and claimed the song was about abusing women, Thomas expressed surprise when he heard that the song was being interpreted as misogynistic. In an interview with The Morning Call, the bass guitarist Brian Yale adding “We were kind of surprised when we heard all that stuff. [Our response] was, ’Wow, really?
