The band consists of CJ, 20 (vocals and rhythm guitar), Steve, 19 (guitar, piano, and backup vocals), Nick, 20 (bass), and Derek, 20 (drums). CJ and Nick formed their first band, Kaution, when they were in middle school. Though that band was unsuccessful, Nick and CJ decided a few years later in 2007 that they wanted to be in a band again. Their producer found Steve and Derek to join them and form Push Play. They clicked immediately and began writing songs and rehearsing. Since then, the band has been extremely well received and has a large fanbase, with fans from not only all over the US, but in Europe, South America, and Asia. The band opened for Miley Cyrus, and has played alongside Metro Station, Flyleaf, and Sara Barellies at the 2008 Zootopia Pre-Show. Push Play has played in major venues like the Nokia Theater in Times Square (they were the first unsigned band to play there), Irving Plaza, and the Gramercy Theater. In 2008, they signed with Jim Morey, Miley Cyrus’ manager, and have since starred on such shows as TRL and Mike & Juliet in the Morning, and performed in the 2008 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. With an extremely unique sound and great stage presence, this band has a great future ahead of them. Unfortunately they broke up in late 2010.

Situation
Push Play Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cause every single time I
Look into the past I
Think of what we had and
It blows my mind
I just want to symbolize
How fast time can fly
Don't tell us where to go
Don't tell us to lie low

Let us move to the tides
It's the start of something new
Looking back on what we knew
We were so confined

[Chorus:]
Sha na na na
Sha na na na
Cause every other line's an exaggeration
She always makes the best of the situation
Sha na na na
Sha na na na
Cause every other line's an exaggeration
You always make the best of the situation

Living life day by day
Never time to delay
Just want to go out
And not have to worry what to say
And now it's time to say goodbye
To wondering why
Don't tell us where to go
Don't tell us to lie low
Let us move to the tides
It's the start of something new
Looking back on what we knew
Now it's time to unwind

[Chorus]

Now every single time I try to get away...
It ends up being my dismay
No, it's not okay

[Chorus x3]
