Salt N Pepa's mainstream breakout hit "Push It" has debuted on multiple UK charts, almost four decades after its initial release. The hit has entered both the Official Single Sales chart and the Official Singles Download chart at the #95 and #98 positions respectively. "Push It" is tied with "Let's Talk About Sex" as the most popular Salt-N-Pepa track in UK.

In an interview with Salt-N-Pepa producer Hurby "Luvbug" Azor, he explained the genesis of the duo's biggest hit. "'Push It' was supposed to be a Go-Go record," he revealed. "After seeing 2 Live Crew and M.C. Shy D in New Orleans, I was jealous of how they rocked the crowd. Dana Dane said that I could make a record like theirs and Play from Kid-N-Play dared me”. In the U>S "Push It" appeared as the B side to "Tramp" from their 1986 debut album, Hot, Cool,Vicious, and on the 1987 compilation, The House That Rap Built.
