"Runaway", also known as "Run Away", is a pop song and an EP by electronic/pop duo Boomkat.[1] "Runaway" was the first single since their departure from DreamWorks Records, and first to be released under independent label, Little Vanilla Records.[2]

Song

After a break from music, Boomkat released their first single in four years, called "Runaway" on April 8, 2008. The music video premiered on their official YouTube channel, iTunes and Taryn Manning's Myspace page. Blogger Perez Hilton also posted the music video on his website, which made the single more recognized. He described the song "smooth, sexy and a bit autobiographical." The single was introduced in many blogs and was considered a success by fans. The single was very popular amongst its listeners, who described it "addictive, interesting and chill."[3]

Music video

The music video was directed by Matthew Wilder, who was also the director of Taryn's film Your Name Here. The video starts with Taryn Manning singing at a party in a long black dress. The video pictures a party thrown by Taryn, but she is a phantom at her own party.[4] Next she's running anxiously, even falling one time, but keeps running away. Guests at the party can't see her, because they are involved with themselves and their own conversations. Throughout the music video Taryn sings and whispers song lyrics to the guests. Her brother, Kellin Manning can also been seen in the music video. He is sitting in the stairs wearing a green suit. The music video ends with Taryn sitting by the pool and touching water.

Extended play

Runaway was also released as an extended play with two new songs and one remix version. It was released before their studio album A Million Trillion Stars (2009). The EP has been available on iTunes as of 6 April 2008.
