Lyrical content

While the song is explicitly about sex, the song shows both Missy and Ghost in top form[1] armed with complex lyrics, clever 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,[2] while others felt the clean, over-production was at odds with Ghost's irrepressible street credibility.[3]
