On The Run (traditional Chinese: 我很忙; pinyin: Wǒ Hěn Máng) is Jay Chou's highly anticipated 8th album. It was set to be released on November 2, 2007, but was leaked to the Internet on October 31, 2007. [1] This is the first album that Jay Chou released under his new record company JVR Music. The literal translation for the album is "I'm Very Busy".

"The Cowboy On The Run", "Rainbow", and "Unparalleled" were three singles first released to radio stations. "The Cowboy On The Run" is a country track, as Chou himself stated he wanted to try something new. "The Cowboy On The Run" was aired on Hit FM.

The literal translation for track 1 is The Cowboy is Busy. This track also illustrates the theme for the album and its cover. The song reflects some things in Chou's real life. Also one particular phrase in the chorus is inspired by Guey Lun-Mei, who starred opposite Chou in the movie Secret.

Track 3's title Blue and White refers to antique Chinese porcelain. Its literal translation is Blue Flower Pot.
