“Running” by No Doubt
From the album Rock Steady (2001)
“Running” by No Doubt appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2003. It was first released in 2001 on the album Rock Steady. Its best result is #100 on the Channel 104.9 Top 104.9 Songs of 2003. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #595 alternative song of 2003.
Rock Steady had been out for more than a year when No Doubt made "Running" its fourth and final single in 2003, after "Underneath It All" and just ahead of "It's My Life". Gwen Stefani and Tony Kanal wrote it, and it leans all the way into synth-pop. Nellee Hooper produced with the band, Mark "Spike" Stent mixed, Greg Collins recorded, and Kanal and Tom Dumont handled some extra recording themselves.
Reviews were mixed, and the Depeche Mode comparisons came up. Only two official charts picked it up: in America it became their lowest-charting single, while Germany kept it around the longest. It also turned up in the last episode of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, and Chris Hafner's video stitches together old and new photos and clippings of the band.
