"Run Away" is a song by German group Real McCoy. It was released in March 1995 as the third single from the album, "Another Night". It gained immense popularity and reached number 3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, where it was certified Gold, and number 6 in the United Kingdom. The lyrics are based on the George Orwell novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Also, all female vocals on the song were performed by Karin Kasar. Backup singers were used to enhance the post-chorus refrain where Karin sings "oh oh oh oh" because the vocal melody fell out of Kasar's vocal range.
