South African sensation Tyla continues her meteoric rise with a fresh take on her hit song “Push 2 Start”, this time featuring the legendary Sean Paul.
The remix, which dropped on February 14, 2025, fuses Tyla’s signature amapiano-infused sound with Sean Paul’s unmistakable dancehall energy, creating a track that’s bound to dominate playlists and dancefloors alike.
The original version of “Push 2 Start” was already a genre-bending masterpiece, blending elements of afropop, R&B, amapiano, and reggae. It was part of the deluxe edition of Tyla’s self-titled debut album, Tyla +, released in October 2024.
The track quickly gained traction, peaking at #88 on the Billboard Hot 100 and holding the #1 spot on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart for eight weeks.
With the remix, Sean Paul injects his signature Caribbean flair, giving the song an undeniable dancehall groove. His energetic verse perfectly complements Tyla’s sultry vocals, making the remix feel like a natural evolution of the original song.
The announcement of the remix took fans by surprise, but it was met with overwhelming excitement. Many praised Tyla for bringing Sean Paul on board, as he has a long history of elevating global hits with his unique sound. Some, however, debated whether another afrobeats or amapiano artist might have been a better fit.
Regardless of differing opinions, the collaboration showcases Tyla’s ability to transcend genres and push boundaries—a quality that has defined her journey so far.
The lyrics of “Push 2 Start” use car metaphors—like “push to start” and “gas me up”—to symbolize the intensity and passion of a relationship. Now, with Sean Paul’s added flavor, the remix feels even more like a club anthem, ready to fuel dancefloors worldwide.
Tyla’s career has been on an unstoppable trajectory, from winning a Grammy for Best African Music Performance to amassing millions of fans globally. The “Push 2 Start (Remix)” with Sean Paul is another testament to her growing influence in the music industry.
Could this be the next chart-topping hit for the rising star? Only time will tell—but one thing’s for sure: Tyla and Sean Paul have delivered a banger.
