"Push" comes from Killing the Dragon, the ninth studio album by Dio, released on Spitfire in 2002 and produced by its frontman. Ronnie James Dio wrote the lyric and shares the music credit with Jimmy Bain and Craig Goldy, and on the track Dio sings lead, Doug Aldrich plays guitar, Bain holds down the bass and Simon Wright drums.
The album around it had a bone to pick with the modern world. Dio explained on the TV show Uranium that the dragon of the title stood for technology, which he feared would menace society down the line, and he went as far as casting the computer as a tiny god that people needed to rise up against. The record got a second life too, paired with Magica in 2007 and remastered in 2019.
