Development and concept

"Push the Button" was inspired by a crush that Keisha Buchanan developed with another artist.

Development of "Push the Button" began while the Sugababes travelled to the United States to work on their fourth studio album, Taller in More Ways (2005).[2] American producer and songwriter Dallas Austin collaborated with the group during the album's initial stages of development.[3] He visited London to work with them,[4] although the group later travelled to the US and stayed with him at his mansion in Atlanta, Georgia.[2] Austin wrote five tracks for the album, including "Push the Button", which he composed in collaboration with the Sugababes.[4] According to group member Heidi Range, the song was "the very last thing" completed for the album.[5]

"Push the Button" was conceptualised after group member Keisha Buchanan developed an infatuation with another artist who was collaborating with Austin.[2] Buchanan told Jess Cartner-Morley of The Guardian that she made advances towards the man, but he was unaware of her intentions: "I really liked this guy, so I'd be like, there's this good movie coming out, you know, dropping hints. And he'd be like, that movie sounds great, let me know what it's like if you go see it. I knew he liked me too but he just wasn't getting what I was trying to say."[2] Austin advised Buchanan to tell the man to "push that button" or she would eventually move on.[2] In a video on her songwriting experiences posted onto her YouTube channel in July 2020, Buchanan said that Austin teased her relentlessly about her crush after an outing by rapping and playing the keyboard; she then returned his bantering and the song instantly developed from there. She also said that Austin encouraged her to imagine she was speaking directly to her crush for the spoken word middle-8 section, and she improvised her speech from there.[6]

chorus,[16] which consists of the lines: "If you're ready for me boy / You'd better push the button and let me know / Before I get the wrong idea and go."[2] Lyrically, the song is about a woman's sexual frustration of being unnoticed by a man.[2] Joe Macare of Stylus Magazine described Buena's delivery of the lyric "my sexy ass" as "carefree", and noted that the lyrics adapt an "idiosyncratic approach" to the English language.[16] Musically, "Push the Button" received comparisons to the sound of pop group ABBA.[15][17]

The video features Range, Buchanan and Buena emerging from a lift onto separate floors of a tall building, the lift having been called by unsuspecting men.[64] Range arrives on the floor of the first man, described by Buena as 'Mr Shy Guy', and the two begin flirting with each other.[8] Buchanan opens the lift door to see, the second man, 'Mr Too Cool' and Buchanan is shown flirting and dancing with him. Buena emerges from the lift to find 'Mr Perfect', the third man.[64] Buena takes his folded umbrella and throws it away, and soon begins flirting with him.[64]

"There were a few short scenes when my shorts rode up too high and I have lots of young relations and young friends and I didn’t want them to think I was making a stripper video or a porn video so I had those bits cut out."

—Mutya Buena commenting on the video's sexual scenes.[7]

Towards the end of the video, Range bends over 'Mr Shy Guy' in a seductive manner, Buchanan pushes 'Mr Too Cool' to the floor, and Buena gives 'Mr Perfect' a

said:

We're continually trying new and innovative ways to get the message out there, about the importance of having smoke alarms and checking them on a regular basis, but a lot of people still aren't listening. Hopefully they will now after hearing this song and watching the video – you just can't help but listen to the words and laugh at the video.[99]
