Overview

"Running" is a song recorded by Greek-German singer Sandro. Released on 7 March 2020, the song was written by Sandro, Alfie Arcuri, Sebastian Rickards, Octavian Rasinariu, and Teo DK. It was planned to represent Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, after being selected by the national broadcaster Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation. However, the contest was later cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Described as a dance-pop song, the lyrics of "Running" encourage people to stand up and fight against their problems. Critical reception of the song was mixed, with several reviewers referring to the song as "average". To promote the song, an accompanying music video was released, as well as an unplugged acoustic version. Sandro performed the song live in both Sweden and Romania in preparation for his Eurovision appearance. Background and composition On 29 November 2019, Sandro was announced as the Cypriot entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 after being internally selected by the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC). "Running" was then revealed as the name of his selected song on 11 February 2020 through a post on Instagram. It was written by Sandro and Australian singer-songwriter Alfie Arcuri with a team also consisting of Sebastian Rickards, Octavian Rasinariu, and Teo DK. Sandro described the song as "something that comes straight from the heart". "A dark story that showcases the struggle against adversity and the storms we have to weather in life," he elaborated. CyBC noted that "having gone through depression himself, Sandro's performance underlines the tunnel of darkness that we must keep on running through in difficulties or catastrophes but also of the strength needed to stand tall and not fall". Summarily, the song describes how young people need to stand up and fight against their problems. The song and its music video premiered on 6 March 2020 during CyBC's show Happy Hour. Robyn Gallagher of Wiwibloggs described it as a "deep-house style electro-pop song, with solid beats underscoring Sandro's vocals", while Star Channel referred to it as dynamic dance-pop anthem with rebellious beats that showcased Sandro's vocals. It was released as a single on 7 March 2020 for download and streaming, and was followed by the release of an acoustic version on 13 April 2020.

Notable quotes

“Run! Run, like the devil's behind us. Run, to where no one can find us. Be my compass.”
— Alessia Caracciolo, "Outlaws", Know-It-All (2015), Def Jam
“Now, here you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”
— Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass, chapter 2.—Logical Nonsense: The Works of Lewis Carroll, ed. Philip C. Blackburn and Lionel White, p. 177 (1934). First published in 1872.
“The wise runner, in crowded company, will want to glance around him occasionally to study approaching traffic that may result in his being trapped by methods described above. So while "Don't look back!" and "Don't run wide on curves!" is good general advice, there are times when a runner must disregard them and think for himself.”
— Harold Keith, Sports and Games (New York: Thomas Y. Crowell, 1941), p. 248
“All day he ran. He did not rest. He seemed made to run on forever. His iron-like body ignored fatigue. And even after fatigue came, his heritage of endurance braced him to endless endeavour, and enabled him to drive his complaining body onward.”
— Jack London, White Fang (1905).
“Wearing headphones is a contentious point. Most women runners I know don't wear headphones, and that's during the day, because they are concerned about their safety.”
— Esther Newman as quoted by Rick Kelsey, “Samsung apologises for advert showing woman running alone at 2am”, BBC, (28 April 2022)
“Woah, look over here We got a cute little ol' runner to the right Blue shorts, no shirt Whoo! You're looking good darling That's right, stay in shape”
— KT Oslin, "Younger Men", "80's Ladies" (1987)
