Rising singer-songwriter Elli Glyn has announced the release of her latest single, ‘Running’, an evocative dark pop anthem set to drop on 28 February. With haunting melodies, introspective lyrics, and ethereal vocals, the track explores the emotional conflict between escape and belonging, further solidifying Glyn’s reputation as a compelling storyteller in today’s music landscape.
‘Running’ captures the essence of longing and uncertainty, narrating the story of someone who once yearned to leave in search of freedom—only to realise that departure did not bring the clarity or relief they expected. Instead, the protagonist is left feeling lost and disconnected from both their past and present. The song’s immersive soundscapes and poignant lyricism create a hypnotic listening experience, drawing audiences into Glyn’s world of self-discovery and reflection.
The single builds on her signature atmospheric sound, blending haunting production with raw emotional depth. As Glyn continues to carve out a space in the dark pop genre, ‘Running’ showcases her ability to translate deeply personal experiences into music that resonates widely.
A Reflection on Identity and Change
Speaking about the inspiration behind the track, Glyn reveals: “I wrote ‘Running’ at a time when I felt lost between where I’d been and where I was going. It’s about realising that no matter how far you run, the past never truly disappears.”
With its stirring themes and cinematic quality, ‘Running’ stands as a deeply personal yet universally relatable track, tapping into the emotional turbulence of change. Fans can expect an atmospheric production that enhances the song’s raw honesty, making it a standout addition to Glyn’s growing discography.
‘Running’ will be available on all major streaming platforms from 28 February.
