Bring on the bold, fierce songs! Bangerz N Bopz ๐ฅ serves up background info and insight into songs of various styles, especially songs that raise eyebrows and/or stir the pot.ย Featured records can be classic or brand new. In the 4th edition of Bangerz N Bopz ๐ฅ (2023), we break down ๐ต โRunโ performed by ๐ Maisie Peters.
โIf he says heโs real, heโs not / If he makes you smile, heโs blocked.โ Oh my, ๐ Maisie Peters! So, whatโs the English singer/songwriterโs advice? ๐ต โRunโ! โRun,โ which appears on Petersโ sophomore album, ๐ฟ The Good Witch, runs ๐ just under three minutes in duration. It packs a sizable punch ๐ฅ.ย One thing that defines this record are the distinct vocals by Peters. She delivers a well-rounded, nuanced performance. There is an enigmatic element to the production (๐ Two Inch Punch) initially.ย The backdrop features beautiful, colorful synths, and a driving groove.
โRunโ benefits from tuneful verses (including the second, excerpted), and, expectedly, a tuneful chorus:ย ย
โRunย
If he calls you up, says he’s so in loveย
And it’s been one week, you betterย
Runย
If your heart says broke, and your friends say, “Don’t”ย
It’s an R-I-P, you better.โ
Ooh wee! Clearly, Peters is leery of purported love โ she keeps her guard up. For some additional context, itโs likely because, per the pre-chorus, โIโve been lied to, Iโve been cut, and deleted / Iโve heard some things that I will leave unrepeated. Thatโll do it! She adds, โIโve seen some flags but the reddest one / Is if a man says that he wants you in his life forever.โ Petersโ love skepticism and trust issues are sweet music to the listenerโs ears on the bop, ๐ต โRunโ, PERIOD!ย ย ย
