Keep Running

Keep Running is a song written by Irish singer-songwriter Gemma Hayes for her fourth studio album Let It Break. It was the second single release from the album. Background The song was previously titled 'Tokyo' and some of the lyrics featured on the unreleased track 'Turning'. The song first appeared on her playlist whilst touring Ireland during 2010 and 2011 cultural show Imeall on 21 April 2010. The song later appeared on the Let It Break track listing as Keep Running. The song was expected to be the first single release from the album. Hayes later confirmed that the track 'Tokyo' was changed to 'Keep Running' on the album as the song began to change direction during its production and some of the lyrics may have been interpreted as referencing the 2011 earthquake in Japan, though this was not the actual case.
