The song "Runaway" is one of the tracks that appears on "Believe", the twenty-second studio album of Cher, famous American singer and actress. This album was released on October 22, 1998 by WEA and Warner Bros. Records. After her previous album It's a Man's World (1995) received a mixed reception, her record company urged her to make a dance-oriented album to attract a wider audience. Cher began work on the album in the spring of 1998 with British producers Mark Taylor and Brian Rawling at Dreamhouse Studios in London. This album is especially dedicated to her former husband Sonny Bono, who passed away that year. The album cover depicts a very characteristic pop culture icon and gave its name to the most popular single from the album, "Believe". The track "Runaway" was composed by Mark Taylor and Paul Barry.
