"Rush Rush" was the first single released from Paula Abdul's second album, Spellbound. Written by Peter Lord, and produced by Peter Lord and V. Jeffrey Smith (both members of The Family Stand), the song achieved success in the U.S. where it topped the Billboard Hot 100.

The video features a street race and co-stars Keanu Reeves, drawing stylistic inspiration from the 1955 James Dean/Natalie Wood film Rebel Without A Cause, and as such, has a period theme. A 90-second dramatic prelude to the song rather mirrors the characters from "Rebel." The video was directed by Stefan Würnitzer, and produced by Karen Rohrbacher for Lucasfilm Commercial Productions.
