"Push It" is a 1998 song written, produced and performed by alternative rock band Garbage. "Push It" was the lead single released from their second album Version 2.0. Manson elaborated on the song's dreamy verse structure versus the confrontational chorus: "[It's about] the schizophrenia that exists when you try to reconcile your desires and demons with the need to fit in. It's a song of reassurance". Because the track contains a musical quotation of the Beach Boys' 1964 song " Don't Worry Baby", its co-writers Brian Wilson and Roger Christian received additional songwriting credits.
The music video for "Push It" received thirteen nominations between the MTV Video Music Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, and the MVPA Music Video Awards. "Push It" was also nominated as Best Alternative Records at the Miami Winter Music Conference.
In 2007, "Push It" was remastered for inclusion on Garbage's greatest hits album Absolute Garbage. Some elements of the remaster were made more noticeable, while some elements were reduced or edited out. A rock version was also serviced to UK radio stations to promote the compilation.
