Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Running Back To You. By Songfacts®.

The first single from Williams' breakout album The Comfort Zone, this uptempo song is about a woman who's still in love with a man that takes her granted, lies all the time, and perhaps cheats. In spite of that, she's only giving him one more chance, and if things don't change, she's walking out and never coming back.

Williams is best known for ballads like "Save The Best For Last" and "Colors Of The Wind," but her first single was "The Right Stuff," a #1 hit on the Dance chart. "Running Back To You" is in this vein. What's remarkable about Williams is how she rose to stardom as a singer after becoming Miss America, something very few winners do. Also remarkable, she did it after naked pictures of her surfaced, leading her to relinquish her title. Early on, many in the music industry didn't want to be associated with her, but it quickly became clear that she could succeed on her talent, not on the controversy.

The song was written by Trevor Gale and Kenni Hairston, who alo co-produced the track with Bob Rosa, DJ L.A. Jay, and Rob Von Arx.
