"Push 2 Start" is a reggae-infused Afropop and amapiano song that focuses on Tyla imploring her partner to give her affection.[4][5][6][7][8]

The music video directed by Aerin Moreno premiered on 8 November 2024 (SAST) and garnered nearly 4 million views within a week.[11] [8]The video is set at a car wash where Tyla dances with back up dancers near a vibrant backdrop. Later she spray paints herself similar to how a car would be painted and dances on a car carrier as the video concludes.[12] Several critics compared the visuals of the music video to the likes of other female artists, most notably Rihanna and Beyoncé, pointing out similar scenes from the music videos for their songs and "Shut Up and Drive" and "Crazy in Love", emphasizing the 2000s pop and R&B music video vibe.[13] [14][15]Tyla also wears heels inspired by Rihanna in the music video.[16]
