Run’s chord progression is inspired by Albinoni's Adagio in G minor. The song is dense with chords, melodies and sounds - so to counteract that weight, the beat is light and playful and the vocals are deliberately bright, effortless and girly. The lyrics are about the race against time and constantly feeling like you’re falling behind. The song, much like its topic, tumbles forward into all sorts of progressions until it suddenly ends with a loud gong.
