Listening to inspiring running songs can help you get motivated to get moving and achieve your running goals. Here are some great ones to get you started: Sheryl Crow’s Run, Baby, Run, Normani’s “Firework,” Bill Conti’s “Gonna Fly Now,” and many more.
Sheryl Crow’s Run, Baby, Run
“Run, Baby, Run” is a song written by American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow. It was released in 1993 by A&M Records. While it failed to chart in the United States, it was successful in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. It reached No. 24 on the UK Singles Chart.
“Run, Baby, Run” is an upbeat song about the joy of running and escaping from the devil’s temptations. The song’s motivational lyrics will give you the energy and drive you need to reach your goals. The lyrics will get your blood pumping and make you want to run even faster. The lyrics also talk about living in the moment and letting go of anger and bitterness.
“Fuel Economy” is another song that will inspire you to run. This pop-rock song is a great motivator. It references the four-barrel quads of a palomino dashboard and aims to empower listeners. “Walking Down the Street” is another one of Crow’s popular songs. The lyrics are humorous and fun. This song is about a woman falling in love with an Egyptian and is perfect for a long run.
“The Running Kind” is another popular country song that focuses on running. Despite its name, the song is about running away from a bad relationship. Its lyrics are sweet without being sappy. The song was originally intended for Avril Lavigne’s Let Go album. Another country song about running is “Breakaway,” written by Matthew Gerrard. It’s about moving on and achieving dreams.
Normani’s Firework
The lyrics to Normani’s Firework are empowering and encouraging. The song features an upbeat production that encourages listeners to “kick it up a notch.” The repetitive lyrics of the song are designed to get listeners into a determined rhythm. The motivational lyrics are meant to inspire the listener to improve their life, both physically and romantically.
Another great song for running is “Sidewalks,” by Normani. This track is about self discovery and being a teen. The song’s vocal performance and the insouciant horns help motivate listeners to pursue their dreams. While the lyrics are upbeat and encouraging, the song also features a darker side, focusing on loss and loneliness.
The music video for the song was shot in Los Angeles, and it shows Normani’s love for pop music icons. In the music video, she turns Los Angeles into a dance floor in a 1996 crop top and miniskirt. The video is a tribute to pop icons like Beyonce and Britney Spears. The raindrop in the video may also be a reference to Spears’ Dream Within a Dream tour.
Another inspirational song for running is “What Doesn’t Kill Me.” This song is loosely based on Friedrich Nietzsche’s famous dictum, “What Doesn’t kill me won’t kill you.” It is an uplifting song about overcoming the obstacles in one’s life. It makes a listener feel empowered and strong, and can help them outrun the competition.
Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Let’s Get Lost”
It’s been a few years since Carly Rae Jepsen topped the charts with her inspirational running song. But now, she has a new single that could become her breakout hit. In “Let’s Get Lost,” the Canadian singer delivers a catchy, synthy tune that will get your blood pumping and encourage you to hit the road.
This catchy track has a synthesized opening and a string section that evokes a cartoonish atmosphere. It’s a pop-punk tune, but it packs a lot of Carly Rae’s charm in a short space. ‘The Sound’ returns to the piano-led emotion of ‘Your Heart Is A Muscle,’ but it shows Carly Rae’s progress as an artist. Her lyrics are sharp and unabashedly optimistic, and her voice reflects her unwavering idealism.
The song’s lyrics evoke an intense emotional experience. It’s a song about wanting. The songwriter sings about a crush. Whether it’s a fumbled hook-up, or a platonic longing, Jepsen is honest in her writing and portrays the pain of a lover.
“Let’s Get Lost” by Carly Rae Jepsen is a pop gem. Despite its juggernaut success, it’s a track with plenty of emotional resonance. Carly Rae Jepsen’ sultry voice made her a pop sensation, but it’s not a flawless pop album. It has highs and lows, and she is not afraid to explore new territory.
Bill Conti’s ‘Gonna Fly Now’
The opening of Rocky V’s ‘Gonna Fly Now’ is a memorable and motivating track. The rousing fanfare and horns carry the theme, and the rhythms are reminiscent of an uptempo workout. The horns and piano provide a dynamic backbone. The funk underneath adds an extra layer of energy.
Conti was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1942 and studied at the Juilliard School of Music. His big break came in 1976 with the hit Rocky movie. The movie became a global success, and the track “Gonna Fly Now” topped the charts. After that, Conti wrote the music for Rocky II, Rocky III, and Rocky Balboa.
Conti is known for his many film and television scores. ‘Gonna Fly Now’ earned him a Best Song Oscar nomination in 1983. His other work includes theme songs for TV shows like Inside Edition, Dynasty, and The Right Stuff.
‘Gonna Fly Now’ is a popular track that is often used in running videos and on TV to motivate runners. In the 1980s, it was used by Walter Mondale during his presidential campaign and in the pioneering Toronto newscast CityPulse. It was later remixed and featured in an episode of the television show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
The Rocky soundtrack is one of the most famous tracks in the history of film music. It topped the charts in the United States during summer 1977 and has since been used at sporting events. Its soundtrack is also the most popular film score of all time. Bill Conti’s ‘Gonna fly now’ has been the soundtrack for many a running movie.
The music in the Rocky IV soundtrack is infused with a funky urban sound. The song “Take You Back” features a cappella singing by four men. The love theme, ‘You Take My Heart Away,’ is another highlight of Rocky IV’s soundtrack.
