"Runaway" is the début single by the Irish family band The Corrs. It was released in September 1995, and had middling chart success except in Ireland and Australia, where it peaked at #10. [ [http://australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=The+Corrs&titel=Runaway&cat=s australian-charts.com - The Corrs - Runaway ] ] In the UK singles chart, it reached #42. 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's début single, "...Baby One More Time".

The song was written by Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and Jim Corr. 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 noted that she knew her mother would be thinking "where did she learn that?!"Fact|date=June 2008
