Lyrical content
The song is explicitly about sex, and contains complex lyrics, word play, and fast tempo delivery. Both of which being a staple of the duo's previous solo outputs.
Reviews
"Tush" was the subject of many mixed reviews. One reviewer felt the song helped Ghostface's push into the mainstream,[1] while others felt the clean, over-production was at odds with Ghost's irrepressible street credibility.[2] Starpulse however felt the song showed both Missy and Ghost in top form[3] and called the wordplay clever.[citation needed]
