Runaway (Jamiroquai song)

"Runaway" is the only single taken from British acid jazz band Jamiroquai's greatest hits compilation, High Times: Singles 1992–2006. The single was released on 30 October 2006. It was their fifth #1 on the U.S. Dance Chart and peaked at #18 on the UK Singles Chart.

Background
The song's lyrics relate to dispute involving group's record label, Sony BMG, who wanted to cut ties with the band six records into an eight-record deal. Jay Kay confirmed this, following a performance of the song in London's Jazz Cafe in August 2008.

The single peaked at #18 on the UK Singles Chart.

Music video
The video was filmed in London and it has two sections. The first features Jay Kay dancing and singing in his home studio; the second shows a man, later revealed to be Kay, wearing a space suit driving a dune buggy through London with an astronaut suit. The video ends where it starts, with the astronaut exiting at the subway station, the Piccadilly Circus tube station.
