Runaway is the debut single by the Irish family band the Corrs. It was first released in September 1995, and had bad chart success except in Ireland, where it reached #7. In the UK singles chart, it reached #42. The song was written by Andrea, Sharon, Caroline & Jim Corr, and Andrea Corr has said the first time she sang it in front of her parents, she was embarrassed because of the line "make love to me through the night". She said she knew her mother would be thinking "where did she learn that?!" The song was then re-released in 1999, remixed by Tin Tin Out and reached #2 in the UK singles chart, being held off from the top by Britney Spears' debut single, ...Baby One More Time.

[edit] The video
The video for Runaway (1995) is shot in Dublin, with locations such as Phoenix Park. The video is shot in black-and-white, using colour only at the end. It shows Andrea on a train, and also the rest of the band playing in a nearby forest. Near the end of the video, Andrea jumps off the train, and "runs away".
In the Tin-Tin Out remix video, this is again shot mostly in black-and-white. The first half of the video is shot backstage at the Manchester MEN Arena, and features Andrea sitting in one of the empty auditorium's seats, singing. The band are also shown performing Runaway on various stage equipment and boxes. The second half of the video is live footage from the night's concert at the MEN arena. This is mostly in colour
