"Running Back to You" is the lead single from American singer and actress Vanessa Williams' second studio album, The Comfort Zone (1991). It features samples from The J.B.'s "The Grunt" (1970) and John Davis and the Monster Orchestra's "I Can't Stop" (1976).
The single became one of the biggest hits of her career; it topped Billboards Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for two weeks from October 5 to October 12, 1991 and reached number eighteen on the Billboard Hot 100. A colorful music video, directed by Ralph Ziman, was shot for the single. Williams performed the song on The Arsenio Hall Show in 1991.
At the Grammy Awards in 1992, the song received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
