This is actually a great song if you look past the fact it doesn't sound like what you are used to. It's very well written, produced and sung. I'm very proud of Amy :)
Ok, let's break what you say down.. it is well sung, what little lyrics there are, it is well produced.. well I would say over-produced!! Well written? FUCK OFF!! A teen could come up with this shit whilst drunk!!
I absolutely love this, and the fact that Amy's exploring different avenues. Writing music for a film was something she's wanted to do for a long time, and she finally was able to do it. The fact that she's able to transition from one genre to the next without a hitch just goes to show how talented she is. I'm a huge Evanescence fan, and it's refreshing to know that the lead singer of the band I love is keeping her talents alive.
Before anyone freaks out saying "this is not like Amy" or "wtf is this shit" maybe you should do some research or watch War Story and maybe you can get a clue. THIS IS A SOUNDTRACK not an actual album! At least be happy she is releasing something for her fans to hear, she could chose to release nothing if she wanted to, so be happy with what she has to offer. Great Job Amy! This is my favorite song!
I agree, yes it's different to what Amy normally does and does I guess sound like a electro-pop song, but it's a soundtrack and not an actual solo album, cause I bet if she did realize a solo album it would probably have more classical or rock put into it, plus it's not like she's releasing this song as a hit single for the charts. so it's a bit private and she's trying new things. Soundtrack albums are meant to be like this and it's not like she's using auto-tune, she's actually singing like she always does. These people have to realize that it's not gonna be like Evanescence. I think push the button is a cool song. I wonder if these people know that is is Amy Lee's ACTUAL UA-cam Channel and that she can read all of these comments (Including the Hate Comments) or even reply if she wanted to. Glad you understand the Soundtrack and song and what Amy is still being creative and expressing her musical Talents. :)
This is absolutely great! Such an awesome song. I really like the fact that Amy shows new aspects of herself and that she is growning as an artist. I really hope we can here songs like this soon. In general, Aftermath is AMAZING. Push the button, Dark Water, Can't stop what's coming and Lockdown are my new fav things to listen to!!!
coccinelle88 you would be the type of girl that will not have a succesfull marriage because you will fall on a routine same thing over and over is good to have something new besides you are not a fan just a fan wanna be all people here talking trash but yet following her on ig twiter or fb if you dont like it then unlike all theres so much artist u can like and stop the hate
And you are one of these people that don't use any form of punctuation. Besides are you seriously assuming my love life because of one comment? Maybe I'm happily married already? Something new in music doesn't always mean a good thing and this song is a perfect example. I will not unsub or whatsoever because I don't like this piece. And stop saying "are not a fan just a fan wanna be all people here talking trash but yet following her on ig twiter or fb if you dont like it then unlike all theres so much artist u can like and stop the hate" because you're being an idiot and your english sucks.
ImmortallyBinding11 My attitude is absolutely appropriate, sorry but I will not agree for this crap, I have been listening for her music since the day 1, and this techno(?) stuff is like a blow on my face. Horrendous!
Hey people, this song is amazing and a sign of evolution, if you miss Evanescence go play the official videos and make them VEVO CERTIFIED. Right now, this is what Amy is into, and the only thing we have in years. STOP THE DRAMA - START THE MUSIC
I wonder if any of you realize this album is for a movie. It's a movie soundtrack. It's supposed to sound like this. She's an artist. She enjoys what she does. Let her be
Wait I just learned something. Aftermath is the album name from the movie name? Like is there a specific movie from all these songs or are they all from different movies? I love Amy lee so much this is amazing!!
First off, this is a gorgeous AF song, so terrific job,Amy! Secondly, for all those people saying that techno doesn't fit Amy's style or that they want Evanescence back (and don't get wrong, I'd love to hear more from them, too someday)...you know what? Amy can put out whatever she wants. It's her voice and her writing and she can do with it what she wants to. Not only that, but she doesn't have to be sharing this with all of her fans, but she is. She could just record the song and then let only the people smart enough to figure out know that she released a new song. But she chose to share it with all of us, which she didn't have to do. Meaning she still cares a lot for her fans whether they're here for Evanescence stuff or not.
I have severe PTSD with s3xual things (demisexual so I'm not necessarily against the act itself, which I've done once with a real person), so I hate the fact that this song is like this and for that very topic. And as someone who really looks up to Amy, I was so mad and disappointed to find out that she actually did this. The sing itself is good, besides the moaning, and I don't mind her trying new things and doing new things. Thats completely fine, but it's just the fact that this triggers my fear responses and the fact that my favorite singer has created something that has been the topic if something that has been ruining my whole life and affecting me everyday.
@@morganc.m1830 While I can't understand that on a personal level, I can empathize. PTSD in general isn't fun and I do suffer from it to some degree, but for it to be dealing with something like that specifically has to be its own kind of hell and I'm sorry you've had to go through that. I can also understand what you're saying to a degree because I, myself am greysexual and tend to lean toward demiromanticism, but not everyone does. That may be one reason why Amy put this song out. Her own feelings and not ours. And of course, you're allowed to be disappointed, but ultimately, this is Amy's music and not ours. That's what I was trying to say in my comment above. That maybe one of the reasons for this song's existence is Amy wanting to break a little bit away from the things expected of Evanescence. Again, I'm not saying you're not allowed to be disappointed or that you have to like this song, but maybe she just wanted to try something new, you know?

Not my favourite song but seriously people, she has been through so much shit with her label and the pressure of being a generic rock band. Evanescence was brilliant when it started and her label pushed her to more 'mainstream'.I applaud her for going independent and finding a new style, its brave. Give her time to find what works, her voice is AMAZING. Love her, I know she will succeed.
This entire album is extraordinary and I can't stop singing its praises. It's now in rotation with Delerium's catalog for music to write and work by. Totally unexpected. May not be for everyone, but I am obsessed with it. Genius.
I hope that Amy never reads these comments because everyone here is just being really disrespectful. How can you guys say "her voice is far better for rock". Who are you to say that? It's her voice, she can do whatever she pleases. Also, most of you fail to realise that this was for a soundtrack. The director most likely tells Amy/Dave that he needs a song to sound sexual/seductive and bam push the button is produced. Did you really think she was gonna make a rock song that sounds sexual? It sucks how Amy has to live up to this persona of being a rock girl, she's a grown up woman now, not the 18 year old who was moping about life. You people should have no expectations of who she should be, that's her choice.

Just perfect! That's the real way people should open their minds for new and diferent things! This song is a great example of how the society must accept the diferent in their minds!!! Thanks Amy for sharing this!!!!! Love ya!
I had expectations set to the sky with this new album and on my first listen I loved the album but thought I had set my expectations maybe far too high. However, on a second listen I just absolutely LOVED IT!!! I've been the hugest Evanescence fan since the release of Fallen, and yes, this definitely has a very different sound from what we are used to but I love the new side Amy is experimenting with. People that are complaining about this new change need to listen to the whole album before passing on judgment (especially Lockdown). I love her new instrumental songs, have always loved Evanescence's instrumentals (Eternal and the intro of Good Enough is def the epitome of this!). Anyhow I do hope Evanescence does get back together but definitely am looking forward to more solo releases!!!!! Keep up the awesome work Amy!!! :D
TO ALL THE EVANESCENCE FANS WHO SAYS THIS IS SHIT BC IT DOESN'T SOUNDS LIKE EVANESCENCE. You say you are a fan and how come a lot of you didn't know she said a LOT of times, that this album would be completely different from evanescence and her past works, that it would be instrumental, with a lot of electronic and low notes made with Taurus pedal (amy's new instrument that she just learned to use) she took the challenge to expand her horizons musically talking, she prove herself as a producer, as a mixer, as a musician that can do music for movies in the direction of the movie, she just went with the flow, like this song, it was used in a sex scene, it fits the whole scenario, if you haven't seen the movie you are an asshole, how can you judge a MOVIE SOUNDTRACK (it's not Amy's solo album, it's a soundtrack BELIEVE IT OR NOT!) if you haven't seen the movie?! The score of a movie is meant to be guided by the director's way. And I don't know why people are still being rude, she has done things that are completely different from evanescence, she has done this BEFORE! Remember the Muppets Soundtrack song? What about the Sally's song off the Nightmare Revisited album? Swimming Home? The song she sang for the Jhonny Cash tribute, the songs she sang with Paula Cole?! C'MON! DON'T YOU GET IT?!! AMY is a fucking REAL MUSICIAN, that tries a lot of things to become better and better, she likes to move on, to learn, to do new things, to always make an impression by doing new authentic things, that's FUCKING AWESOME! I assure to you and all the other shitty fans, that when she puts out the music she made with Steve Lillywhite (which was more of a solo thing) that is going to be fucking awesome, and different from this. Because again, this was music for a soundtrack, not Amy doing her own songs for her or her fans. Open your mind! Don't you guys listen to some depeche mode, and bjork influences in this? I hope you understand what I said. English is not my first language but I guess I said enough.
I am a very huge ev fan..but I do not like this song! It is shit..not because it doesn't sound like "evanescence" but basically its not AMY..this is pop shit out of her ass...sure its for the movie..but she didn't have to go this way...the lyrics are trash!
Fuck!! the lyrics are meant to be sexual for the scene!!! They needed an electronic music, and it's not pop shit, she made all the sounds you heard with electronic instruments that she just learned to use, it has a haunting sound although it's electronic, is not a "club song" or something... this wasn't meant to be an AMY LEE ROCKSTAR record, if you don't like this song it's OK! But the whole record is great, instrumental songs are awesome, Lockdown is kinda electronic too but very different from this one, and again, if you haven't seen the movie, you will NEVER understand the feeling of EACH song bc they are meant to be heard along with the scenes, to make an atmosphere out of what you are watching and listening. Yikes! People are so lame...
Can I ask why you think the lyrics are shit? Personally I think they're actually very metaphorical, you have to read between the lines to understand their deeper meaning. This song reminds me of Lose Control
Finally someone who gets it... thank you. I've been saying this ever since she started doing music like this. SHE IS A MUSICIAN. WHICH MEANS SHE CAN TRY NEW THINGS AND EXPLORE AND GROW AS AN ARTIST. STOP WHINING ABOUT THE PAST. IF YOU WERE TRULY A FAN YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THIS. Fuck, shes only been doing nothing but Evanescence who whole fucking life! Of course she wants change! She has that right! If you don't like this then go and listen to her old stuff and leave her new self the fuck alone... if you were truly a fan you wouldn't say such hateful things just because she took a chance on something she believes in.. and you know what? She is so happy, like the happiest I've seen her in years.... if you really like Amy you'd be happy for her too! God forbid you guys try something out of your comfort zone. Have an open mind people... seriously.
I loved this song since the first time as the first song of the album. My blood was exploding in my veins for surprise and excitement when I listened it! Every time you're able to surprise me and, in the other hand, to remain yourself. Yes, i can also listen your past music in this song, just who don't know you at all as musician (and both as the Ev singer) can say: this is totally different from the previous Amy. This is not the reality. This is you at your most. Thanks for sharing this vid. LOVE YOU FOREVER ♥
ATTENTION: THIS IS NOT AN ALBUM, THIS IS A SOUNDTRACK FOR WAR STORY THATS WHY IT SOUNDS DIFFERENT. SHE MIGHT GO BACK TO EVANESCENCE LATER, BUT THEY ARE NOT BROKEN UP. JUST TAKING ANOTHER BREAK FROM THE BAND.
Evanescence have no label, no distributor, no publisher and, let's be honest, Amy's heart is no longer in Evanescence. She has wanted to be solo for years and the rumour is that she sued the label to dissolve Evanescence and remove contractual obligations so as to get on with her life.
SkullScience77 and we met again *sigh* .. she just proved that labels are not necessary, her album was #1 on amazon and itunes in a lot of countries, stop pretending that you know the way she thinks or feels because you fucking don't! For fuck's sake! no one knows, the only certain thing here is that she said to rolling stone that she isn't done with Evanescence yet.
ola ke ase How can she be done with Evanescence? She is Evanescence! How is that hard for people to understand? She literally owns the name. You use the name it will be her suing you!! Do you see? The album has flopped!! Official!!! 67 in the album chart and managed only 18 in the indies!! 17 indies superior to Amy with far less marketing and that was in one country!!! I think you will find, if anything, she will prove labels are necessary for the band the size of Evanescence but not so for a part-time indie artist!! Something Amy has wanted for years and what she will now always be. She is not done with Ev as she passed the previous rights over to Bicycle music!! A greatest hits album and rarities await!! New stuff.. once every blue moon (released digitally due to finance) and never again a full LP!!
Love the move my daughter who is 14yrs listened to your albums from me, she will love this your voice is amazing. And everything before will stand the test of time...I'm loving my revisit through this x
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but please consider expressing it as such and not as a "fact" like you think it is. I actually really enjoy this song and the album as a whole. I think it really demonstrates Amy's willingness to grow as an artist and explore unfamiliar territories. She still has a penchant for layers, complex vocal harmonies, and interestingly enchanting melodies and I find that that shows here even with the pulsing rhythm, which I think many fans can't seem to find it in themselves to look past simply because it's Amy making a techno song.
Is this a dream I feel the earth beneath my feet The Hunter is my name Yes, I am the hunter Push the button Push the button Push the button Push the button We force it down Put on a play to hide our shame No wonder we're in chains Time to feed the hunger Push the button Push the button Push it Push the button Push the button Push the button Push the button Push the button Push the button Push the button Push the button
So much immaturity and narrow-mindedness in the comments from underage kids and prudes. Hate electronic music and/or sex all you want, but don't be rude about it, Amy is a person too and calling her names is childish. While I might not be a fan of the song, I appreciate Amy's willingness to experiment.
Well said! And we know her incluences, we know that she loves bjork, portishead, massive attack and that stuff, this new face of her it's not that strange knowing that... Isn't it?
Rock is to be the attitude and determination to do what he likes, without connecting to someone else's opnion, but this is to be the Rock. Amy Lee keep on doing what you love, what inspires you, the true fans will give you all the support and unconditional love forever.
Pre-ordered this and was excited to hear the work you have done for the movie, and so far I am very impressed! This song is growing on me the more I listen to it and have the beats stuck in my head! I am curious to see War Story now and hear the music in context to the film. Great work!
Unfortunately I can't watch it because there's a s3x scene in the movie and I'm not about that at all, and one reason I can't just enjoy this song like everyone else. I love it, but I can't get past the moaning.
I love the entire album! Every song is very unique and different from Amy's previous work, it just shows how talented that woman is. Don't forget that Aftermath is "just" a soundtrack for the movie War Story, so I can't wait to listen more of her solo work! By the way, Evanescence isn't over! The band will come back as soon as they are ready (Amy and Tim, both have become parents)
I love new music style by Amy! She's amazing! Push the Button is a great song! Love all instrumentals from "Aftermath". Hey GUYS THIS IS NOT EVANESCENCE THIS PROJECT FOR THE "WAR STORY" movie. STOP CRYING! ENJOY THIS MASTERPICE cause it's other side of style by great AMY LEE!
I have severe PTSD with s3xual things (demisexual so I'm not necessarily against the act itself, which I've done once with a real person), so I hate the fact that this song is like this and for that very topic. And as someone who really looks up to Amy, I was so mad and disappointed to find out that she actually did this.

It's definitely different. But every time she releases an album it's a new sound. I hope it turns out to be everything she wants it to be! I fully support it! !
I think this is a good piece of work from Amy, it's more upbeat than what she usualy produces so that should be a good thing! Not usually a side we see from Amy but I personally love everything she produces. The good thing is she doesn't let haters bring her down, but peoples opinions are their own. Amy is very talented but some people cant see it
I like this new change. We get an nice look at Amy's different sides of creativity. Good job! Took some time getting used to it though, but now I can't stop listening lol.
I can't believe so many people can not understand that this album is a soundtrack to a movie, not an Evanescence album. And that an artist can try other genres instead of what everyone familiarizes them with. It might be different, but its still Amy. She is more than just Evanescence, she's and artist and a musician, and she's just painting on a different canvas right now. I happen to think that this song is great, I love to sing along, its a fun song. And I don't like today's pop, I don't consider it music, just nonsense really. But this song conveys an emotion, its not just a bunch of gibberish. I think many people are too afraid of change. Everyone is used to her rockin out that its a shock to the system to listen to anything other than that. I think you have to look past that though, she's more than loud guitars, her voice and lyrics have so much depth she can do anything she wants and it will give me chills. This is just my opinion that I hold to be true. I don't think you should hate something just because its different and not what you are used to. If you want to hear something like the old albums then listen to the old albums. She's in a new chapter of her life and the tone of the book is changing.
I'm proud of Amy and I have always been! Like she says, she's open minded to anything and it's good to hear something different from her. In the third Evanescence album, they have included the harp which they haven't done before due to the lessons she took on their time off and that was a change in itself. I think that Amy can do anything with music and as long as it's her career, she doesn't care about what others think as long as she's making music and well done to War Story for making her dreams of creating a movie score come true :)
This new song sounds like synthpop, which I like. Also, it's got Amy's voice, which I absolutely love. So what is there to complain about? Nothing :3 Same creepy vibes, same clear, beautiful voice.
I can complain about one thing...the moaning. But, that's it. I have severe PTSD with s3xual things (demisexual so I'm not necessarily against the act itself, which I've done once with a real person), so I hate the fact that this song is like this and for that very topic. And as someone who really looks up to Amy, I was so mad and disappointed to find out that she actually did this. The sing itself is good, besides the moaning, and I don't mind her trying new things and doing new things. Thats completely fine, but it's just the fact that this triggers my fear responses and the fact that my favorite singer has created something that has been the topic if something that has been ruining my whole life and affecting me everyday.
I do not understand comments left by people, I think that this song is a wonderful musical progress, we must live music at 360 °, and Amy has been able to do that, so excellent.
I don't think that anyone gets it. This is not a studio album,.....IT"S A SOUNDTRACK FOR A FILM!!! Do you people know the difference between a studio and soundtrack release? A sound track is developed to go along with the moive either running as background music during the film or during open and closing credits. This soundtrack was NOT released with having 2 or 3 singles released from it in mind,...get a grip people
Listen up people. Amy is not different in the slightest. She still is our gorgeous amazing singer. She has a child on the way maybe she wanted to alter her style of music for her child's sake. Maybe something clicked in her life and she doesnt feel the need to be so "dark" I love Amy Lee's Fallen album, I love it all. Let her experiment other styles of singing/music without her fans hating on it. Voice your opinion but not in a hateful mannor like "disgusting" "terrible" "i want the old amy back because this one sucks" Evanescence, Amy Lee keep doing what you are doing!
Why so much hate? I love this also if you watch some interviews she says that Dave wanted it to be a more a of a cheesey pop song and actually Amy said it came out quite nicely and she liked it lol so stop acting like you're a butt hurt fan lol a real fan of Evanescence and Amy wouldn't hate...she makes music not just rock lol
Doesn't anybody recall that it has been Amy's personal dream for many years to compose film music? Remember the rumours about the intro to 'Good Enough', supposedly written for the Narnia film (which unfortunately did not make it)... It is difficult to get 'in' with the right people in the industry despite being a world renowned rock artist. Amy finally has her foot in the doorway. Who cares if Evanescence as a band did not write the music. When was the last time you heard of bands composing film music in anyway? So what if Amy had to write a song such as this for a sex scene so she could get the deal. Another 'My Immortal' would have felt out of place, but I can assure you there are some tracks on the rest of the album that is just as emotional and beautiful despite the lack of her vocals. And to be truly fair to everyone saying she's 'sold out'. Have a good listen at Evanescence once more. 'Push the Button' has many of those elements just written in another genre. Evanescence has always made use of electronic sounds (My last breath; Snow White Queen or even pre-Fallen material - Eternal). The haunting/sliding 'ooh'/'aah' backing vocals are even comparable to that of 'Cloud Nine' or 'Loose Control'. Amy is an incredibly creative person and I think its wrong to judge her like this when her outlook on the world has always been about open-mindedness.
I've fallen for amy lee's work since forever! but honestly I'll always love her for her amazing talents and any direction she may turn should be praised! An artist needs to get out of their comfort zones eventually!
This is actually a great song if you look past the fact it doesn't sound like what you are used to. It's very well written, produced and sung. I'm very proud of Amy :)
indeed :)
Ok, let's break what you say down.. it is well sung, what little lyrics there are, it is well produced.. well I would say over-produced!! Well written? FUCK OFF!! A teen could come up with this shit whilst drunk!!
Thanks for your opinion :) not that I really gave a shit what you thought
L Smith Sorry, just laughing at the introspective irony of that comment!! Nice attempt at polishing a turd!!
SkullScience77 realmente estas obsesionado con Amy, por que será?
Am I the only one who totally LOVES this song?
I love it too ;D
Nope, I kinda like it too!. :.)
I love it too
Marymonstercat Nope, many fans loved it too, including me!! :D
+Marymonstercat i like this song that by amy lee
I absolutely love this, and the fact that Amy's exploring different avenues. Writing music for a film was something she's wanted to do for a long time, and she finally was able to do it. The fact that she's able to transition from one genre to the next without a hitch just goes to show how talented she is. I'm a huge Evanescence fan, and it's refreshing to know that the lead singer of the band I love is keeping her talents alive.
Before anyone freaks out saying "this is not like Amy" or "wtf is this shit" maybe you should do some research or watch War Story and maybe you can get a clue. THIS IS A SOUNDTRACK not an actual album! At least be happy she is releasing something for her fans to hear, she could chose to release nothing if she wanted to, so be happy with what she has to offer.
Great Job Amy! This is my favorite song!
I agree, yes it's different to what Amy normally does and does I guess sound like a electro-pop song, but it's a soundtrack and not an actual solo album, cause I bet if she did realize a solo album it would probably have more classical or rock put into it, plus it's not like she's releasing this song as a hit single for the charts. so it's a bit private and she's trying new things. Soundtrack albums are meant to be like this and it's not like she's using auto-tune, she's actually singing like she always does. These people have to realize that it's not gonna be like Evanescence. I think push the button is a cool song. I wonder if these people know that is is Amy Lee's ACTUAL UA-cam Channel and that she can read all of these comments (Including the Hate Comments) or even reply if she wanted to. Glad you understand the Soundtrack and song and what Amy is still being creative and expressing her musical Talents. :)
Totally agree!
My favorite song too :)
Agree 100%, Great job, Amy!!! Great job
Exactly, right!. ;.)
This is absolutely great! Such an awesome song. I really like the fact that Amy shows new aspects of herself and that she is growning as an artist. I really hope we can here songs like this soon. In general, Aftermath is AMAZING. Push the button, Dark Water, Can't stop what's coming and Lockdown are my new fav things to listen to!!!
Growing as an artist, are you insane?! This mix is an ultimate shit, I know Amy since Evanescence, so this tune is a proper disgrace.
Your opinion is ultimate shit. And your attitude is a proper disgrace. Good day.
coccinelle88 you would be the type of girl that will not have a succesfull marriage because you will fall on a routine same thing over and over is good to have something new besides you are not a fan just a fan wanna be all people here talking trash but yet following her on ig twiter or fb if you dont like it then unlike all theres so much artist u can like and stop the hate
And you are one of these people that don't use any form of punctuation. Besides are you seriously assuming my love life because of one comment? Maybe I'm happily married already? Something new in music doesn't always mean a good thing and this song is a perfect example. I will not unsub or whatsoever because I don't like this piece. And stop saying "are not a fan just a fan wanna be all people here talking trash but yet following her on ig twiter or fb if you dont like it then unlike all theres so much artist u can like and stop the hate" because you're being an idiot and your english sucks.
ImmortallyBinding11 My attitude is absolutely appropriate, sorry but I will not agree for this crap, I have been listening for her music since the day 1, and this techno(?) stuff is like a blow on my face. Horrendous!
Amy Lee you sound very good. Your voice fits any type of music. Don't listen to the haters.You're amazing! ❤👍👍👍👏👏👏
😉
AWESOME SONG. AMY LEE IS AMAZING.
not her
+Gabriella Pillay yes, it's her.
Pablo Castro yeah it is her.
AMY LEE IS LEGEND....
This album is amazing!
More like this, Amy, plz.
Amy is the best!
Hey people, this song is amazing and a sign of evolution, if you miss Evanescence go play the official videos and make them VEVO CERTIFIED. Right now, this is what Amy is into, and the only thing we have in years. STOP THE DRAMA - START THE MUSIC
RESPECT ♥
This was for a movie
QUEEN OF ROCK, POP AND ELECTRONIC MUSIC
I wonder if any of you realize this album is for a movie.
It's a movie soundtrack.
It's supposed to sound like this.
She's an artist. She enjoys what she does. Let her be
Omg someone with a brain.... *___* hug me!
(>^_^)>
Trinity J.
Wait I just learned something. Aftermath is the album name from the movie name? Like is there a specific movie from all these songs or are they all from different movies? I love Amy lee so much this is amazing!!
I just hatw how she did it for a s3x scene and the fact this song is s3xual
I love Amy and I love this type of music! I’m so glad she decided to expand here. I hope to see more from her like this. Her voice is stunning!
This song is so good. I can't wait to hear what's next from Amy Lee!
First off, this is a gorgeous AF song, so terrific job,Amy!
Secondly, for all those people saying that techno doesn't fit Amy's style or that they want Evanescence back (and don't get wrong, I'd love to hear more from them, too someday)...you know what? Amy can put out whatever she wants. It's her voice and her writing and she can do with it what she wants to. Not only that, but she doesn't have to be sharing this with all of her fans, but she is. She could just record the song and then let only the people smart enough to figure out know that she released a new song. But she chose to share it with all of us, which she didn't have to do. Meaning she still cares a lot for her fans whether they're here for Evanescence stuff or not.
I have severe PTSD with s3xual things (demisexual so I'm not necessarily against the act itself, which I've done once with a real person), so I hate the fact that this song is like this and for that very topic.
And as someone who really looks up to Amy, I was so mad and disappointed to find out that she actually did this. The sing itself is good, besides the moaning, and I don't mind her trying new things and doing new things. Thats completely fine, but it's just the fact that this triggers my fear responses and the fact that my favorite singer has created something that has been the topic if something that has been ruining my whole life and affecting me everyday.
@@morganc.m1830 While I can't understand that on a personal level, I can empathize. PTSD in general isn't fun and I do suffer from it to some degree, but for it to be dealing with something like that specifically has to be its own kind of hell and I'm sorry you've had to go through that.
I can also understand what you're saying to a degree because I, myself am greysexual and tend to lean toward demiromanticism, but not everyone does. That may be one reason why Amy put this song out. Her own feelings and not ours. And of course, you're allowed to be disappointed, but ultimately, this is Amy's music and not ours. That's what I was trying to say in my comment above. That maybe one of the reasons for this song's existence is Amy wanting to break a little bit away from the things expected of Evanescence.
Again, I'm not saying you're not allowed to be disappointed or that you have to like this song, but maybe she just wanted to try something new, you know?
@@edeathedemonfox7067 Well this was for a movie as well ya know lol
@@edeathedemonfox7067 I am glad you are understanding though. Thank you, not everyone is.
Queen of music (-:
Amy couldn't possibly produce anything bad! Even if it's not like the old stuff, doesn't mean it suddenly becomes awful. I like it very much ^-^

I admire you. Glad to hear your new creativity again.
Finding this in 2022 and obsessing ..💯
This sounds SO GOOD, love you Amy! such a versatil complete musician and artist, never stop doing music please
Not my favourite song but seriously people, she has been through so much shit with her label and the pressure of being a generic rock band. Evanescence was brilliant when it started and her label pushed her to more 'mainstream'.I applaud her for going independent and finding a new style, its brave. Give her time to find what works, her voice is AMAZING. Love her, I know she will succeed.
This is for a movie
This entire album is extraordinary and I can't stop singing its praises. It's now in rotation with Delerium's catalog for music to write and work by. Totally unexpected. May not be for everyone, but I am obsessed with it. Genius.
This is hella good >.
I hope that Amy never reads these comments because everyone here is just being really disrespectful. How can you guys say "her voice is far better for rock". Who are you to say that? It's her voice, she can do whatever she pleases. Also, most of you fail to realise that this was for a soundtrack. The director most likely tells Amy/Dave that he needs a song to sound sexual/seductive and bam push the button is produced. Did you really think she was gonna make a rock song that sounds sexual? It sucks how Amy has to live up to this persona of being a rock girl, she's a grown up woman now, not the 18 year old who was moping about life. You people should have no expectations of who she should be, that's her choice.

Even in techno sounds, Amy is just great!
Just perfect! That's the real way people should open their minds for new and diferent things! This song is a great example of how the society must accept the diferent in their minds!!! Thanks Amy for sharing this!!!!! Love ya!
I had expectations set to the sky with this new album and on my first listen I loved the album but thought I had set my expectations maybe far too high. However, on a second listen I just absolutely LOVED IT!!! I've been the hugest Evanescence fan since the release of Fallen, and yes, this definitely has a very different sound from what we are used to but I love the new side Amy is experimenting with. People that are complaining about this new change need to listen to the whole album before passing on judgment (especially Lockdown). I love her new instrumental songs, have always loved Evanescence's instrumentals (Eternal and the intro of Good Enough is def the epitome of this!). Anyhow I do hope Evanescence does get back together but definitely am looking forward to more solo releases!!!!! Keep up the awesome work Amy!!! :D
I personally love it. It's unexpected, but awesome. It helps that I actually like this type of music to begin with.
TO ALL THE EVANESCENCE FANS WHO SAYS THIS IS SHIT BC IT DOESN'T SOUNDS LIKE EVANESCENCE. You say you are a fan and how come a lot of you didn't know she said a LOT of times, that this album would be completely different from evanescence and her past works, that it would be instrumental, with a lot of electronic and low notes made with Taurus pedal (amy's new instrument that she just learned to use) she took the challenge to expand her horizons musically talking, she prove herself as a producer, as a mixer, as a musician that can do music for movies in the direction of the movie, she just went with the flow, like this song, it was used in a sex scene, it fits the whole scenario, if you haven't seen the movie you are an asshole, how can you judge a MOVIE SOUNDTRACK (it's not Amy's solo album, it's a soundtrack BELIEVE IT OR NOT!) if you haven't seen the movie?! The score of a movie is meant to be guided by the director's way. And I don't know why people are still being rude, she has done things that are completely different from evanescence, she has done this BEFORE! Remember the Muppets Soundtrack song? What about the Sally's song off the Nightmare Revisited album? Swimming Home? The song she sang for the Jhonny Cash tribute, the songs she sang with Paula Cole?! C'MON! DON'T YOU GET IT?!! AMY is a fucking REAL MUSICIAN, that tries a lot of things to become better and better, she likes to move on, to learn, to do new things, to always make an impression by doing new authentic things, that's FUCKING AWESOME! I assure to you and all the other shitty fans, that when she puts out the music she made with Steve Lillywhite (which was more of a solo thing) that is going to be fucking awesome, and different from this. Because again, this was music for a soundtrack, not Amy doing her own songs for her or her fans. Open your mind! Don't you guys listen to some depeche mode, and bjork influences in this? I hope you understand what I said. English is not my first language but I guess I said enough.
very well said! I agree with you 100% I'm sick of all the hate in a lot of the comments here.
I am a very huge ev fan..but I do not like this song! It is shit..not because it doesn't sound like "evanescence" but basically its not AMY..this is pop shit out of her ass...sure its for the movie..but she didn't have to go this way...the lyrics are trash!
Fuck!! the lyrics are meant to be sexual for the scene!!! They needed an electronic music, and it's not pop shit, she made all the sounds you heard with electronic instruments that she just learned to use, it has a haunting sound although it's electronic, is not a "club song" or something... this wasn't meant to be an AMY LEE ROCKSTAR record, if you don't like this song it's OK! But the whole record is great, instrumental songs are awesome, Lockdown is kinda electronic too but very different from this one, and again, if you haven't seen the movie, you will NEVER understand the feeling of EACH song bc they are meant to be heard along with the scenes, to make an atmosphere out of what you are watching and listening. Yikes! People are so lame...
Can I ask why you think the lyrics are shit? Personally I think they're actually very metaphorical, you have to read between the lines to understand their deeper meaning. This song reminds me of Lose Control
Finally someone who gets it... thank you. I've been saying this ever since she started doing music like this. SHE IS A MUSICIAN. WHICH MEANS SHE CAN TRY NEW THINGS AND EXPLORE AND GROW AS AN ARTIST. STOP WHINING ABOUT THE PAST. IF YOU WERE TRULY A FAN YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THIS. Fuck, shes only been doing nothing but Evanescence who whole fucking life! Of course she wants change! She has that right! If you don't like this then go and listen to her old stuff and leave her new self the fuck alone... if you were truly a fan you wouldn't say such hateful things just because she took a chance on something she believes in.. and you know what? She is so happy, like the happiest I've seen her in years.... if you really like Amy you'd be happy for her too! God forbid you guys try something out of your comfort zone. Have an open mind people... seriously.
I for one, love it. Good job Amy! Go for what you wanna do and don't let the negativity get you down.
I loved this song since the first time as the first song of the album. My blood was exploding in my veins for surprise and excitement when I listened it! Every time you're able to surprise me and, in the other hand, to remain yourself. Yes, i can also listen your past music in this song, just who don't know you at all as musician (and both as the Ev singer) can say: this is totally different from the previous Amy. This is not the reality. This is you at your most. Thanks for sharing this vid. LOVE YOU FOREVER ♥
ATTENTION: THIS IS NOT AN ALBUM, THIS IS A SOUNDTRACK FOR WAR STORY THATS WHY IT SOUNDS DIFFERENT. SHE MIGHT GO BACK TO EVANESCENCE LATER, BUT THEY ARE NOT BROKEN UP. JUST TAKING ANOTHER BREAK FROM THE BAND.
Evanescence have no label, no distributor, no publisher and, let's be honest, Amy's heart is no longer in Evanescence. She has wanted to be solo for years and the rumour is that she sued the label to dissolve Evanescence and remove contractual obligations so as to get on with her life.
SkullScience77 and we met again *sigh* .. she just proved that labels are not necessary, her album was #1 on amazon and itunes in a lot of countries, stop pretending that you know the way she thinks or feels because you fucking don't! For fuck's sake! no one knows, the only certain thing here is that she said to rolling stone that she isn't done with Evanescence yet.
ola ke ase How can she be done with Evanescence? She is Evanescence! How is that hard for people to understand? She literally owns the name. You use the name it will be her suing you!! Do you see? The album has flopped!! Official!!! 67 in the album chart and managed only 18 in the indies!! 17 indies superior to Amy with far less marketing and that was in one country!!! I think you will find, if anything, she will prove labels are necessary for the band the size of Evanescence but not so for a part-time indie artist!! Something Amy has wanted for years and what she will now always be.
She is not done with Ev as she passed the previous rights over to Bicycle music!! A greatest hits album and rarities await!! New stuff.. once every blue moon (released digitally due to finance) and never again a full LP!!
ola ke ase Spot on.
Yes it is an album, but the album is soundtracks, but still an album
...And Amy takes a drive thru the techno neighborhood. Sounds kinda cool. I wanna see the movie though...
Love the move my daughter who is 14yrs listened to your albums from me, she will love this your voice is amazing. And everything before will stand the test of time...I'm loving my revisit through this x
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but please consider expressing it as such and not as a "fact" like you think it is. I actually really enjoy this song and the album as a whole. I think it really demonstrates Amy's willingness to grow as an artist and explore unfamiliar territories. She still has a penchant for layers, complex vocal harmonies, and interestingly enchanting melodies and I find that that shows here even with the pulsing rhythm, which I think many fans can't seem to find it in themselves to look past simply because it's Amy making a techno song.
I completely agree.
For real though, whose vocal harmonies can do that magic other than Amy?

I think this is my first time listening to this song on UA-cam. Liked, commented, and subscribed. I love you Amy.
So much immaturity and narrow-mindedness in the comments from underage kids and prudes. Hate electronic music and/or sex all you want, but don't be rude about it, Amy is a person too and calling her names is childish. While I might not be a fan of the song, I appreciate Amy's willingness to experiment.
I agree completely by what you said
We need more people like you, seriously.
Everyone else are acting so damned selfish!
Well said! And we know her incluences, we know that she loves bjork, portishead, massive attack and that stuff, this new face of her it's not that strange knowing that... Isn't it?
BeatGoat Well said!!
Rock is to be the attitude and determination to do what he likes, without connecting to someone else's opnion, but this is to be the Rock.
Amy Lee keep on doing what you love, what inspires you, the true fans will give you all the support and unconditional love forever.
What an amazing song! such a talented woman. I love Aftermath, Amy.
So happy to hear your new work! Congratulations on becoming a mother and your continued musical success.
Pre-ordered this and was excited to hear the work you have done for the movie, and so far I am very impressed! This song is growing on me the more I listen to it and have the beats stuck in my head! I am curious to see War Story now and hear the music in context to the film. Great work!
Unfortunately I can't watch it because there's a s3x scene in the movie and I'm not about that at all, and one reason I can't just enjoy this song like everyone else. I love it, but I can't get past the moaning.
this is just the beginning! GO Amy!
Happy Birthday Amy Lee ♥ "You are the everything I can't control ..."
You go GIRL!! ROCK IT!!! nice to see you spreading your wings and taking on the world!!!
Perfection
Very different, but I think it links Amy Lee to dark wave and dark synth. I think she's pulling it off well! Good luck, Amy.
Damn, this is fantastic music to strip to! Thanks Amy :)
gloomyharlow lmao.
Great work Amy! Really love it
THIS IS A SOUNDTRACK OK IT'S NOT A "SOLO ALBUM" IT'S MADE FOR A MOVIE AND FOR THAT MOVIE'S STORY.
OOOOH WHAT MOVIE IS IT FOR
+Maddison war story
I didnt know her voice could do that! Amy you are amazing
Amy keep up the good work. I'm very proud of you. ❤❤❤👍👍👍👏👏👏
I love the entire album! Every song is very unique and different from Amy's previous work, it just shows how talented that woman is. Don't forget that Aftermath is "just" a soundtrack for the movie War Story, so I can't wait to listen more of her solo work!
By the way, Evanescence isn't over! The band will come back as soon as they are ready (Amy and Tim, both have become parents)
I love new music style by Amy! She's amazing! Push the Button is a great song! Love all instrumentals from "Aftermath". Hey GUYS THIS IS NOT EVANESCENCE THIS PROJECT FOR THE "WAR STORY" movie. STOP CRYING! ENJOY THIS MASTERPICE cause it's other side of style by great AMY LEE!
I have severe PTSD with s3xual things (demisexual so I'm not necessarily against the act itself, which I've done once with a real person), so I hate the fact that this song is like this and for that very topic.

This is amazing. I really love this album.
increible voz de amy ♥ !
i love amy and i love this
Great! I can't stop listening to this song! Really amazing!
It's definitely different. But every time she releases an album it's a new sound. I hope it turns out to be everything she wants it to be! I fully support it! !
Love this song :D
I think this is a good piece of work from Amy, it's more upbeat than what she usualy produces so that should be a good thing! Not usually a side we see from Amy but I personally love everything she produces. The good thing is she doesn't let haters bring her down, but peoples opinions are their own. Amy is very talented but some people cant see it
Amy me encanta este tema siempre lo pongo en mi trabajo.
I like this new change. We get an nice look at Amy's different sides of creativity. Good job! Took some time getting used to it though, but now I can't stop listening lol.
Fantastic new style :)
Amy is a great singer , , she´s so talented no matter what she does
She's such an amazing artist! My idol!
Like it,it's different but she great for any kinda songs,her voice is what makes her anyway,beautiful.
but the emotion is still there
I love this song. It's a BANGER. And Amy's voice is so beautiful.
I really really love this AMAZING song
It's really nice and awesome, different but amazing!! Good job Amy, I missed your voice...
I can't believe so many people can not understand that this album is a soundtrack to a movie, not an Evanescence album. And that an artist can try other genres instead of what everyone familiarizes them with. It might be different, but its still Amy. She is more than just Evanescence, she's and artist and a musician, and she's just painting on a different canvas right now. I happen to think that this song is great, I love to sing along, its a fun song. And I don't like today's pop, I don't consider it music, just nonsense really. But this song conveys an emotion, its not just a bunch of gibberish.
I think many people are too afraid of change. Everyone is used to her rockin out that its a shock to the system to listen to anything other than that. I think you have to look past that though, she's more than loud guitars, her voice and lyrics have so much depth she can do anything she wants and it will give me chills. This is just my opinion that I hold to be true. I don't think you should hate something just because its different and not what you are used to. If you want to hear something like the old albums then listen to the old albums. She's in a new chapter of her life and the tone of the book is changing.
I'm proud of Amy and I have always been! Like she says, she's open minded to anything and it's good to hear something different from her. In the third Evanescence album, they have included the harp which they haven't done before due to the lessons she took on their time off and that was a change in itself. I think that Amy can do anything with music and as long as it's her career, she doesn't care about what others think as long as she's making music and well done to War Story for making her dreams of creating a movie score come true :)
This new song sounds like synthpop, which I like. Also, it's got Amy's voice, which I absolutely love. So what is there to complain about? Nothing :3 Same creepy vibes, same clear, beautiful voice.
I can complain about one thing...the moaning. But, that's it.
I have severe PTSD with s3xual things (demisexual so I'm not necessarily against the act itself, which I've done once with a real person), so I hate the fact that this song is like this and for that very topic.

great track, very groovy, wish she worked more on that kind of sound
i love it! #CongratulationAmyLee
I do not understand comments left by people, I think that this song is a wonderful musical progress, we must live music at 360 °, and Amy has been able to do that, so excellent.
agree
omg, I love anything that woman do!
I was like wait what??? Ok gotta listen to this, so cool! I love
I don't think that anyone gets it. This is not a studio album,.....IT"S A SOUNDTRACK FOR A FILM!!!
Do you people know the difference between a studio and soundtrack release?
A sound track is developed to go along with the moive either running as background music during the film or during open and closing credits.
This soundtrack was NOT released with having 2 or 3 singles released from it in mind,...get a grip people
apparently they don't, bunch of idiots.
You're right and I completely agree with you.
Amazing. Every Song she makes is Pure Gold. Its just Mesmerizing
This songs is amazing
Damn, i wasn't expecting this from Amy Lee.
Listen up people. Amy is not different in the slightest. She still is our gorgeous amazing singer. She has a child on the way maybe she wanted to alter her style of music for her child's sake. Maybe something clicked in her life and she doesnt feel the need to be so "dark" I love Amy Lee's Fallen album, I love it all. Let her experiment other styles of singing/music without her fans hating on it. Voice your opinion but not in a hateful mannor like "disgusting" "terrible" "i want the old amy back because this one sucks" Evanescence, Amy Lee keep doing what you are doing!
i actually like this song. GOOD JOB AMY
This song is shmexy 😍 amazing job Amy!!!
I love it. Awesome song Amy.
Different side of Amy's music, beautiful electronic song!!!
this is not Evanescence, this soundtrack album
loving the vibe of this song so much! i am so glad amy is in a place where she can have artistic/musical freedom and explore diff genres.
Why so much hate? I love this also if you watch some interviews she says that Dave wanted it to be a more a of a cheesey pop song and actually Amy said it came out quite nicely and she liked it lol so stop acting like you're a butt hurt fan lol a real fan of Evanescence and Amy wouldn't hate...she makes music not just rock lol
I know right!?. :)
Valentine Mistress very well put.
THIS IS PERFECT!
Doesn't anybody recall that it has been Amy's personal dream for many years to compose film music? Remember the rumours about the intro to 'Good Enough', supposedly written for the Narnia film (which unfortunately did not make it)... It is difficult to get 'in' with the right people in the industry despite being a world renowned rock artist. Amy finally has her foot in the doorway. Who cares if Evanescence as a band did not write the music. When was the last time you heard of bands composing film music in anyway? So what if Amy had to write a song such as this for a sex scene so she could get the deal. Another 'My Immortal' would have felt out of place, but I can assure you there are some tracks on the rest of the album that is just as emotional and beautiful despite the lack of her vocals. And to be truly fair to everyone saying she's 'sold out'. Have a good listen at Evanescence once more. 'Push the Button' has many of those elements just written in another genre. Evanescence has always made use of electronic sounds (My last breath; Snow White Queen or even pre-Fallen material - Eternal). The haunting/sliding 'ooh'/'aah' backing vocals are even comparable to that of 'Cloud Nine' or 'Loose Control'. Amy is an incredibly creative person and I think its wrong to judge her like this when her outlook on the world has always been about open-mindedness.
omg this is the most clever comment I've read here so far! :D well said.
This Soundtrack is awesome, so is this Song. Her Voice is very Sensual here. Love her Music, whether Solo or with Evanescence
Cool amy lee ❤❤❤❤❤😍
I've fallen for amy lee's work since forever! but honestly I'll always love her for her amazing talents and any direction she may turn should be praised!
An artist needs to get out of their comfort zones eventually!
Amazing!
Adorei isso aí!
LOVE IT, but I love ANYTHING of yours Amy your voice is hauntingtly beautiful. And love Dave Eggar's cello on the album. Masterpiece!
