Run-Around (song)

"Run-Around" is a song by the American rock band Blues Traveler, released in 1994 as the lead single from their fourth studio album, Four. It is arguably their most commercially successful song, reaching number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.

The song is known for its upbeat tempo, catchy melody, and John Popper's distinctive harmonica playing. The lyrics tell the story of a man who is chasing after a woman who is constantly "running him around," or leading him on without committing to a relationship. He is aware of her manipulative behavior but continues to pursue her nonetheless.

"Run-Around" helped propel Four to multi-platinum status and cemented Blues Traveler's place in the mid-1990s alternative rock scene. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1996.

The song's popularity has endured over the years, and it remains a staple of classic rock and 1990s music playlists. It is often recognized for its memorable harmonica solo and its portrayal of a relatable romantic frustration.
