You should swap those two lines:

super.paintComponents(g);  //paints the children, like the button
g.drawImage(background, 0, 25, null); // draw background later possibly overwriting the button

Thus it should be this order:

g.drawImage(background, 0, 25, null);
super.paintComponents(g); 

Additionally, note that the content pane's default layout is BorderLayout. Thus you'd set the layout of your content pane to null explicitly.
