"We Come Running" was the song that introduced Youngblood Hawke, the indie pop band's first single, included on their self-titled EP in 2012 and then used to lead off the campaign for their debut album, Wake Up, on Republic. Samuel Martin wrote it with Simon Katz and Matt Squire, and Katz and Squire produced it, a song built to be shouted back from the crowd, with Simone and the West Los Angeles Children's Choir lending their voices.
It got a boost when iTunes named it Single of the Week in August 2012, and by December it had climbed to number seven on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart.
