"Runaway" is a song by British female duo E'voke, first released in 1995 as a single. Following the release of their cover of Stevie Wonder's "I Believe" in 1994, the duo recorded the track with producers Barry Leng and Duncan Hannant. The resulting track was signed to Ffreedom (a subsidiary of FFRR) and remixes were commissioned. One of the remixes was accredited to TTF and was similar in sound to TTF's remix of N-Trance's "Set You Free" which had been a major hit earlier in 1995. Jon Campbell of TTF denided that the remix was done by them.[1] A black-and-white music video to a slightly edited version of the Biff & Memphis edit was released which was later released on iTunes in 2011.[2] Upon release, the track reached number 30 in the UK Top 40 in November 1995, before falling to 49 the following week, then to 65.[3] On the UK Dance, "Runaway" reached number three. Later same year, a bootleg remix by Jimmy J & Cru-L-T was released. In 2012, the track was re-released.
Tim Jeffery from British magazine Music Week's RM Dance Update rated "Runaway" four out of five, writing, "A refreshingly unusual and original track that has a long drown out intro that's not quite ambient as there's a breakbeat snapping away faintly in the background but the warm strings, synths and female vocals sound effects certainly have a relaxing vibe. The track suddenly shifts up a couple of gears into Nu-NRG territory with a pulsing bassline and stabbing synths for a powerful finale."[4] Another editor, James Hamilton described it as a "lisping and squawking sometimes painfully shrill UK girl duo's catchy Euro style romp".[5]
Following the digital release of "Runaway" in 2011 and the 2012 re-release of "Arms of Loren", Pinball records commissioned new remixes of "Runaway" which were released on 23 September 2012.
