Background and composition

"Love Runs Out" was originally intended to be the first single from Native, but was eventually passed over in favour of "If I Lose Myself". Tedder told Capital FM, "We have a new single that's not even on the album that's about to drop. I can't quote the date," and "I wanted ["Love Runs Out"] to be the first single, a few of us in the band did, but I could not finish the chorus. And you can't have a song without a chorus."^[3]

Sheet music for "Love Runs Out" shows the key of G minor with a moderate tempo of 120 beats per minute. The vocals span from D₃ to D₅ in the song.^[4]

Critical reception

4Music called "Love Runs Out" a "spine-tingling track" with "slick production"^[5] and a "stomper".^[6]

Commercial performance

"Love Runs Out" debuted at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 22 on the New Zealand Singles Chart. The song eventually reached a peak of number 15 on the Hot 100. It reached its million sales mark in the US in August 2014^[7] and by the end of 2014 had sold 1.4 million copies.^[8]

The song charted even higher in other countries. It reached the top 5 in Austria, Luxembourg, Canada, Germany and the UK, as well as the top 10 in Spain and South Africa. Its success in Germany was also down to the fact that the TV station ZDF had selected it as its official anthem for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.^[9][10]

Music video

A music video was produced for the song and was directed by Sophie Muller. It cost the group $180,000. The video has references to Sade's video "Soldier of Love", also under Muller's direction.^[11] It has 179 million views as of March 31, 2023, and is OneRepublic's fifth most viewed music video.

In other media

"Love Runs Out" is one of the official theme songs for WWE's WrestleMania 35 event in 2019. It was also included in the video game, NBA 2K15, curated by Pharrell Williams.^[12]
