The production features a climactic drop that builds up an energetic guitar solo leading into an infectious hook by Warren. On the track, Warren tries to navigate through this new life he’s living in Los Angeles and searches for solitude with his relationships, looking to “run away” from some of the stress that comes with the life he’s pursuing.
The track is accompanied by a psychedelic visual that reflects this sentiment, directed and edited by Mattias Russo-Larsson of “coming of age.”
About the track, Warren says “’RUNAWAY W ME’ is a song that talks about escaping my current lifestyle in Los Angeles and finding the balance between love and music. It’s a love song that mixes in elements of Hyper-pop, trap and hip hop.
The process of creating this song was super interesting because we changed the bpm 5 times and used interesting vocal chains to create a psychedelic effect.”
Warren debuted the track in front of 30,000 fans at the finale of the 2021 Head In The Clouds Festival in Pasadena, California. “RUNAWAY W ME” follows the release of single “WEST,” a mesmerizing track with a reel-to-reel tape loop that feels equal parts nostalgic and triumphant.
