"Push the Button" is a pop song written by Dallas Austin, Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan, and Heidi Range for the Sugababes' fourth studio album Taller in More Ways (2005). Produced by Dallas, the song was released to positive reaction from music critics as the album's lead single in September 2005. It reached number one in Austria, Ireland, Poland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, becoming the group's fourth number one single domestically. Thematically, the electro influenced pop song focuses upon how a girl tries to wrap a man around the little finger, prompting him to "push the button" instead of hesitating any longer.

In the UK the maxi CDs release was on September 26, 2005. The single was featured on the soundtrack for the 2006 romantic comedy It's a Boy/Girl Thing, and in a commercial for Tassimo coffee machines.

The music video for "Push the Button" was directed by American director Matthew Rolston and produced by Lindsay Turnham for Exposure Films.[7] It was filmed in various locations throughout Shepherds Bush, London in July 2005 and first aired in the United Kingdom in the week of September 12, 2005.[8] The video primarily focuses around Buena, Buchanan and Range dancing in an elevator for an extremely tall (and computer animated) building. "So there's Keisha, Heidi in a lift and on each floor that the lifts stops at, a different guy gets in, one for each of us," Mutya Buena told in an interview with the band's official website. "We end up with Mr 'Too Cool', Mr 'Perfect' and Mr 'Shy Guy' (Emrhys Cooper) and of course we flirt with them, tease them and push them away... all in a fun way."
