A song for those nights that turn into mornings, OLYM’s ‘Run Away’ is all about escaping from the party that doesn’t match your vibe and retreating into a happy place where you can truly revel in. Inspired by a real life night out wherein OLYM was looking to leave a party but couldn’t quite find a companion to do so. While this escape led him to somehow crash Madonna’s private party, perhaps the entire escapade was well worth it. The upbeat disco and funk inspired dance tune has an inherent catchiness to it, combining that feeling and need to dance with a more mellow and introspective emotion behind the beat.
On the surface its a simple song about escaping a club situation you don’t want to be in, but at a deeper level it’s about choosing your own path irrespective of whether you have others to follow you with.
