• Last week in wake of the release of “Barbenheimer,” Matchbox Twenty re-released their popular hit “Push” with a new album cover with a white background and pink text. While not being a re-recording or remix of the original song, the band wanted to re-release the original song in light of the song being sung by one of the characters in the “Barbie” film. The b-side is a single from their newest album. Below is the Barbie soundtrack cover of “Push.”
