After their smash “Another Night,” German trio Real McCoy delivered another Eurodance hit in 1995 with “Run Away.” The song pairs a pulsating club beat with Patsy Petersen’s urgent chorus about escaping to a better place and MC Smooth’s rapid-fire raps. Its upbeat yet slightly melancholic tone (touching on the desire to flee life’s troubles) gave it a distinct feel among happy-go-lucky dance tracks. “Run Away” sprinted into the US top 10 and kept clubs hopping with its catchy “run away, run away” refrains. Today, it still evokes the neon-lit energy of mid-’90s dance floors and stands as a beloved follow-up that proved Real McCoy was no one-hit wonder.
