General information

Amy with War Story director Mark Jackson.

Written by: A. Lee

When Amy was recording the score for the indie movie War Story (2014) with David Eggar, she recorded a song titled "Push the Button" for director Mark Jackson. Amy explained to MTV News:

That song is called 'Push the Button.' For a long time, the director, Mark, just couldn't find the right song placement for this one scene that he wanted something really different sounding. So I was like 'You know what? I can do this myself. It's very different for me, it's electronic; I did it all myself, which was crazy, because I'm used to engineering and writing and mixing demos in my house, but being responsible for that being the end product was a new challenge for me. It was like 'This is it, I'm mixing this.'

The song was later revealed in August 2014 to be included on Amy's soundtrack album Aftermath, which was released on August 25, 2014.

Lyrics

Is this a dream
I feel the earth beneath my feet (Can I play the hunter?)
The hunter is my name
Yes I am the hunter
(Push the button)
We force it down
Put on a play to hide your shame (Can I play the hunter?)
No wonder we're in chanis
Time to fear the hunger
(Push the button)
