"Run Baby Run" comes from Bleed Like Me, Garbage's fourth album, from 2005, and it grew from an idea guitarist Duke Erikson brought to the sessions: a call to stop conforming, to quit behaving the way you're expected to and let life take you wherever it goes. Shirley Manson pushed it further, calling it a rebuff to fairy tales like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty and to the storybook notion, handed to girls especially, that somebody will come along and fix your life. Nobody will, she decided; you have to make your own happiness.
The band produced it themselves, Butch Vig mixed and Billy Bush engineered, with Matt Walker sitting in on drums. It went out as the second single in Europe and Australia, while Britain got "Sex Is Not the Enemy" in its place, and Sophie Muller shot the video.
