"Running" is the debut single by English singer Jessie Ware from her debut studio album, Devotion (2012). The song was released in the United Kingdom as a digital download on 24 February 2012. The drum loop used in the chorus of the song was based on Prince's "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker". The single features a particularly popular remix of the song by Disclosure, which was later featured as a bonus track in the deluxe edition of their debut studio album, Settle (2013). The remix was featured in the Xbox 360 and Xbox One racing game Forza Horizon 2 (2014).

A music video to accompany the release of "Running" was first released on YouTube on 13 February 2012 at a total length of four minutes and thirty-five seconds. The video was directed by Kate Moross.

Nashville duo Wild Cub did a cover of this song. Dale Lavine of Hootingandhowling.com said the following about it: "Tasteful and rustic, no doubt. Piano melodies fall over a solid beat, all tossed together with that soulfully gruff voice that has made bands like Alabama Shakes and Imagine Dragons rise to relative infamy. The same could be said for Wild Cub, who are well on their way to becoming another big name. Their cover of ‘Running’, along with so many of their other songs, presents an atmosphere of that classic romantic melancholy while retaining modern pop-esque rhythms". Elliott Batte of Stereoboard.com called it an "atmospheric, piano based jam carried by the ever impressive vocal of Keegan DeWitt. The end result is a reworking of the track which pays direct homage to the original while featuring the attributes that have made Wild Cub one of the most exciting new bands in circulation currently".
