"Run to Me" is a song by theBee Gees, the lead single from the group's albumTo Whom It May Concern (1972). The song reached the UK Top 10 and the US Top 20.
Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb are credited as co-writers of "Run to Me".[1] Later, Robin Gibb recalled, "We recorded 'Run to Me' andAndy Williams cut it on his LP. If Andy Williams came up to us and said write a song and we wrote 'Run to Me' for him, he probably wouldn't have recorded it. But we recorded it and then he recorded it."[2]
"Run to Me" was recorded on 12 April 1972 at London'sIBC Studios, on the same day as "Bad Bad Dreams" and "Please Don't Turn Out The Lights" were recorded. The song was similar to the band's last two successful singles, "Don't Wanna Live Inside Myself" and "My World". "Run to Me" includes vocals by both Barry and Robin Gibb.[1]
Released on 7 July 1972[3] as the lead single off of the albumTo Whom It May Concern,[4] "Run to Me" climbed to number nine in the UK; in the US, it reached number 16.
