Pushed Too Hard
Pop with bouncy midtempo groove, syncopated handclaps, rubbery bass, and playful percussion; verse keeps it tight and cheeky, pre-chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and a tiny drum fill, chorus lands on a chanty hook with group vocals and quick delay throws on the last word. Add a whistle riff between lines, a reverse swell into the hook, and a bright punchy mix with close-mic lead and clapped doubles on the chorus.

Lyrics
Verse 1
You said, "I got this,"
face all proud
Held your breath
too damn loud
Red in the face
grip on the wall
Thought you were strong
then came the call
Pre-Chorus
Mm-mm, you leaned too far
Mm-mm, now here we are
One hard push
one bad move
And the room went quiet
when you tried to prove
Chorus
You pushed too hard
you pooped
You pushed too hard
oh, you pooped
Should've eased up
should've backed off
Now you're staring at the truth
You pushed too hard
you pooped
Verse 2
Left the room fast
eyes on the floor
Said "don't ask me"
but we all knew more
Could've been a sneeze
could've been stress
But that little silence
said it best
Pre-Chorus
Mm-mm, you leaned too far
Mm-mm, now here we are
One hard push
one bad move
And the room went quiet
when you tried to prove
Chorus
You pushed too hard
you pooped
You pushed too hard
oh, you pooped
Should've eased up
should've backed off
Now you're staring at the truth
You pushed too hard
you pooped
Bridge
Take a breath
slow it down
No more hero act
in this town
Next time you feel
that giant strain
Listen to your body
before the shame
Chorus
You pushed too hard
you pooped
You pushed too hard
oh, you pooped
Should've eased up
should've backed off
Now you're staring at the truth
You pushed too hard
you pooped
