The song is, without doubt, one of Adams' best known songs. It was penned by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance for the band Blue Oyster Cult, but they rejected it. Adams wasn't that keen on the initial version of the song wither, so it was reworked alongside producer Bob Clearmountain and turned into a hit maker.
The opening wintry scene shows Adams' guitar stood upright in the snow, with the man himself crouched down and looking like he's half frozen, rubbing his hands together as he starts to sing the first verse. We then see Adams and his band performing on a stage with coloured lights beaming down on them. The rest of the video cuts between Adams in the fake snow (with one scene in the rain) and the band performing. There is also a scene with a girl running through the rain.
"Run To You" also reached No.4 in Canada and No.8 in Ireland. It was a top 20 hit in several other countries.
The English dance group Rage released a dance version of "Run To You" in 1992, which reached No.3 in the UK singles chart and spent 11 weeks in the Top 100.
