"Runaway" is the first and only single taken from British Acid Jazz band Jamiroquai's greatest hits compilation, High Times: Singles 1992–2006. The single was released on October 30, 2006. It was their fifth #1 on the U.S. Dance Chart and peaked at #18 on the UK Singles Chart.
[edit] Background
The song's lyrics relate to a protest regarding the group's record label, Sony BMG, who wanted to cut the band off after six records, however, their contract claimed they had an eight-record deal. Jay Kay confirmed this following a performance of the song in London's Jazz Cafe in August 2008. The single peaked at #18 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] The promotional version of the single includes an early demo version of the song, which runs at 3:29, rather than the finished version of the song, which runs at 3:45.
