Bryan Adams - Run To You

"Run to You" led off Bryan Adams' fourth album, Reckless, as its first single in 1984, and it's a cheating song with no apology in it: the narrator has a faithful partner at home and keeps slipping away to the other woman anyway. Critic Ira Robbins, writing for CMJ, called it a "cheating classic". The video flips the script, making Adams' guitar the thing he can't stay away from.

Adams wrote it with Jim Vallance, who also added percussion and associate production, and produced it with Bob Clearmountain, who engineered and mixed. Keith Scott's guitar, Mickey Curry's drums, Dave Taylor's bass and Tommy Mandel's keyboards give it a dark, pulsing drive. It went to the top of Billboard's Top Rock Tracks chart and reached number six on the Hot 100.
