"Run" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson with Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush of country duo Sugarland,and recorded for Nathanson's seventh studio album, Modern Love (2011). The song is performed as a duet between Nathanson and Nettles,with Bush contributing backing vocals as well as the acoustic and electric guitar accompaniments. It made its debut at the 2010 CMA Awards on November 9,2011. [1] A remastered country version was released to digital retailers via Vanguard Records the same day as the third single from Modern Love. [2]
"Run" was released to digital retails on November 9,2011 through Vanguard Records. [2] It was serviced to hot adult contemporary radio on January 16,2012 through Vanguard and Capitol Records. [3]
Accreditation of the song varies,with AllMusic crediting Bush and Nettles separately as featured artists, [4] the iTunes Store crediting Sugarland collectively, [5] and the digital single attributing the song to Sugarland as the primary artist and Nathanson as a featured artist. [2]
Bobby Peacock of Roughstock gave a positive review of "Run",which he declared "at its core... boils down to a country lyric," commenting that "the seemingly different voices (not to mention musical backgrounds) unite perfectly,helped by a slick (but in a good way),powerful pop production." [6] PopCrush reviewer Scott Shetler deemed "Run" inferior to Nettles' previous pop/rock collaboration (Bon Jovi's "Who Says You Can't Go Home"),but consented that "Run" was a "pleasant pop song with a decent hook and nice harmonies" and ultimately ranked the song 3.5/5 stars. [7] Billy Dukes of Taste of Country described "Run" as a "stop-and-thinker that could easily be dismissed if listened to haphazardly" due to the hidden depths of the lyrics,and lauded the combination of Nathanson and Nettles' voices:"Not since Jon Bon Jovi has a male lead complimented Nettles’beckoning drawl so naturally." [8] Andrew Leahey of AllMusic was more critical of the song and Nettles' vocals in particular,leading him to label "Run" as "one of the album’s most misguided moves". [4]
Three official music videos exist for "Run". The Sugarland version was directed by Valarie Allyn Bienas and premiered February 9,2012. [9] [10] This video feature live footage from the CMA Awards performance. A solo Matt Nathanson video premiered March 27,2012 and a collaborative video (titled "Run ft. Sugarland") premiered the following day on March 28,2012;the latter video was directed by Brendan Walter. [11] [12]
