About The Runner

"The Runner" is the second single by English indie rock band, Foals, off their sixth studio album, Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost – Part 2. The single premiered on 5 September 2019 via Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show. The song is also included on the soundtrack for the EA's soccer video game series, FIFA 20. Lisa Wright, writing for DIY praised the track for its musical aesthetic, "Swaggering straight in with guitars that prowl" and notes "Though there's a cockiness to the verses, there's something more fallible, more grandiose that sweeps in as the chorus arrives."
