"Plush" remains one of the biggest rock hits of the 1990s, and it still receives airplay on radio stations. The music video also earned the band an MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist in 1993. "Plush" won in the category of " Best Hard Rock Performance" at the 1994 Grammy Awards. The song was also one of the first alternative rock songs to reach the number-one spot on the Album Rock Tracks chart during the height of the alternative rock/grunge scene. The song was released in 1993 as Core's second single and became a major rock radio hit in the United States, peaking at number one on the Album Rock Tracks and number nine on the Modern Rock Tracks. Weiland had also said that the song's lyrics are a metaphor for a failed relationship. The song's chord structure was inspired by bassist Robert DeLeo's love of ragtime music, and its lyrics were loosely based on a newspaper article lead singer Scott Weiland had read about a girl who had been found dead after having been kidnapped in the early 1990s.
