| − | + | [[Prince]] recorded the song on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/February 5|5 February 1991]]. The song reuses some musical ideas from a re-recording (intended for [[Elisa Fiorillo]]’s TV-performances) of [[Ooh This I Need]]. The track features [[Rosie Gaines]] and [[Tony M.]] on vocals, and uncredited strings by [[Clare Fischer]], possibly lifted from [[Old Friends 4 Sale]]. | |
| − | [[Push]] references many of the album’s songs (in the order they appear) during a rap segment of the song (a technique [[Prince]] has repeated on other songs, such as [[Newpower Soul]] and [[Ol' Skool Company]]). [[Thunder]], [[Daddy Pop]], [[Diamonds And Pearls]], [[Cream]], [[Strollin’]] and [[Willing And Able]] are mentioned. As in other cases where this technique has been used by [[Prince]], the rap highlights changes that the album’s tracklist went though: [[Horny Pony]] (instead of [[Gett Off]]) is mentioned immediately following [[Willing And Able]], since that track was placed there at the time [[Push]] was recorded. These rap lyrics from [[Push]] are included on the back cover of the [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] album packaging (with "Gett Off" written over "Horny Pony").
