Composition
"Run Away with Me" is written in the key of D♯ minor in 12
8 time with a tempo of 120 beats per minute. The song follows a chord progression of B–D♯m7–C♯sus–G♯7sus, and Jepsen's vocals span from F♯3 to D♯5.[5]
Critical reception
Spin magazine referred to "Run Away with Me" as "the best pop song of 2015 yet", "an undeniable hit waiting in the wings for its moment", and a "big, bold, beautiful masterpiece".[6]
Paper magazine hailed the song as "just as much the pop perfection that is 'I Really Like You'" and "the perfect anthemic summer jam",[7] while USA Today welcomed "Run Away with Me" as "a marked improvement over ['I Really Like You']".[8] Time magazine wrote of the track, "'Run Away With Me' marries euphoric Swedish dance-pop with a pressing nostalgia for your teenage years, a time when the littlest crushes felt like time bombs and a time Jepsen is really, really, really skilled at evoking. In that sense, it’s 'Teenage Dream 2.0', right down to a bridge so catchy she has to repeat it twice".[9]
Rolling Stone ranked "Run Away with Me" at number 49 on their year-end list to find the 50 best songs of 2015.[10] Village Voice named "Run Away with Me" the 11th-best single released in 2015 on their annual year-end critics' poll, Pazz & Jop.[11]
