"Runaway" is the only single taken from British acid jazz band Jamiroquai's greatest hits compilation '. The track was released on 30 October 2006. It was their fifth No. 1 on the US Dance Club Songs chart, and it peaked at No. 18 on the UK Singles Chart.
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 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.
