Runaway is a 2006 single by the British band Jamiroquai, taken from their 2006 greatest hits album, High Times: Singles 1992-2006. The song can be interpreted as a rant at the band's/Jason's then-was record label, Sony BMG, who he signed an 8-album contract with, because it seems that the label has a leash on the band's creative influence in the records. This is backed up by Jason's rather loud exclamation of the words "Runaway... BACK TO THE OLD SCHOOL!", at the live performance of the song at the London Jazz Cafe. Moreover, like said early as September 2006 by a fan called "SL", through the lyrics of Runaway JK speaks directly to/of Sony BGM Music: SL's Theory
