"Taurus Here" is the debut single by Atlanta-based Crunk&B–girl group Taurus. It was written by producer D. Smitty alongside Taurus member Domanica "Doma" Raye, and served as the lead single for Taurus's unreleased self-titled debut album. The song is also noted for its heavy sampling of Salt-n-Pepa's 1987 hit single, "Push It", which served as a tribute to the rap group.

In the week of July 2, 2005, the song debuted on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart as a Hot Shot at number 70.[1] In its third week, the song leaped to its peak position of 16, where it was named the third song to garner greatest airplay (behind Tony Yayo's "So Seductive" and Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together").[2] By November 2005, the song fell off the chart, spending a total of 18 weeks.[3]
