"Push" is a power ballad by the group Matchbox Twenty. It was their breakthrough single. After landing "Long Day" on several radio stations paving the way, "Push" hit the top. The song, while seeming to be about physical abuse, has been stated by Rob Thomas to be about emotional abuse.[citation needed]
[edit] Video
The video for "Push" starts and ends with Rob Thomas playing with a puppet. Throughout the song, the band is seen playing in an alley. A couple of scenes feature Thomas chained to a wall. The band is also seen standing while Thomas is standing over a wire fence, with his hands on the wires in front of him. Thomas is also seen in a room containing a clock and a bed, though no windows are shown.
