Run

This song finds OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder urging fans not to get caught up in the negativity portrayed by the media. They tell you that the sky might fall They'll say that you might lose it all So I run until I hit that wall Yeah, I learned my lesson, count my blessings Look to the rising sun and run, run, run Rather than being weighed down by all the bad news, Tedder has learned to ignore everything that makes him depressed. Instead, he is going to do what he wants, live in the moment, and enjoy life.

Speaking to the UK newspaper The Sun, Tedder said he was inspired to write the song after the COVID news started to scare him. "It's more important to block 99 percent of that noise out and live life while you're alive," he said. "Do it, see it, take it in, try it all, don't stand around being paralyzed by bad news - instead, run." "Chase whatever it is you want because life goes quick," Tedder continued. "I'm constantly doing things that scare me and chasing new experiences and goals. In that chase, I'm having fun. Because I'm living."

The coronavirus pandemic also inspired "Better Days," a bonus track on the Deluxe version of Human.
