When Amy was recording the score for the indie movie ''War Story'' (2014) with [[David Eggar]], she recorded a song titled "'''Push the Button'''" for director Mark Jackson. Amy explained to MTV News:
'''''Push the Button''''' is the first track from [[Amy Lee]] and [[Dave Eggar]]'s soundtrack album, ''[[Aftermath]]'', written for the film, ''War Story''. Amy revealed the song in an interview with MTV News:


{{quote|That song is called 'Push the Button.' For a long time, the director, Mark, just couldn't find the right song placement for this one scene that he wanted something really different sounding. So I was like 'You know what? I can do this myself. It's very different for me, it's electronic; I did it all myself, which was crazy, because I'm used to engineering and writing and mixing demos in my house, but being responsible for that being the end product was a new challenge for me. It was like 'This is it, I'm mixing this.'<ref name=notforband />}}

Lyrics

Is this a dream?
I feel the earth beneath my feet (Can I play the hunter?)
The hunter is my name
Yes I am the hunter
(Push the button)
We force it down
Put on a play to hide our shame (Can I play the hunter?)
No wonder we're in chains
Time to feed the hunger
(Push the button)
