"Just Push Play" is the title track of Aerosmith's 13th studio album, and it finds the old warhorses flirting with rap rock, Tony Perry on turntables while Steven Tyler sings lead and piles on piano, percussion and extra guitar and drums. Joe Perry and Brad Whitford play guitar, Tom Hamilton bass and Joey Kramer drums. Tyler wrote it with Mark Hudson and Steve Dudas, and the production credit is a crowd: Tyler, Perry, Hudson, Marti Frederiksen and the Boneyard Boys.
Released as a single in April 2001, it reached 10 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, then got a second wind from Dodge Ram commercials: pop radio picked it up that November and it climbed to 38 on the Mainstream Top 40. In 2024 FOX was still using it to sell The Masked Singer and The Floor.
