Background[edit]
On June 21, 2019, Yatra, Yankee, and Natasha released the track "Runaway", featuring the Jonas Brothers.[4] "Runaway" is the first bilingual song Yatra has released. After writing the chorus in English, Yatra realized that he wanted a mainstream English-language musician to feature on the track, putting the recording of the song on hold for two years while he searched for the right collaborators.[4] Commenting on the song, Yatra stated, "you feel the happiness in the track."[4]
Live performance[edit]
It has been performed live on the Jonas Brothers' Happiness Begins Tour for the first time on August 7, 2019, the first tour date.[9] On November 8, 2019, the brothers performed the song along their singles "Sucker" and "Only Human" during the LOS40 Music Awards 2019.[10] On the same date, they released their new holiday song, "Like It's Christmas".[11]
