Song

"Runaway Baby" is a song by American singer and songwriter Bruno Mars, which appears on his debut studio album Doo-Wops & Hooligans. It was written by Mars and Brody Brown and produced by The Smeezingtons. The song peaked at number 19 on the UK Singles Chart on October 30, 2011, after Mars performed the song on The X Factor results show on October 30, 2011. "Runaway Baby" was used as the opening theme for the film Friends with Benefits.[1] The song was also used for a trailer of the movie Escape from Planet Earth in 2013. The song was added to Australian radio Nova 100, on the week of February 15, 2012.

Live version

During live performances of the song, there is an extra break where Mars does a James Brown dance.[citation needed] In most live performances, he picks up a megaphone to sing the bridge of the song. On October 30, 2011, Mars gave an exclusive performance of the song on the results show of The X Factor UK. Mars performed this song as the opening for the 54th Grammy Awards with the same dance moves and sings the bridge with a megaphone. The performance is highly acclaimed by critics.

Mars also performed a shortened version of the song as part of his Super Bowl XLVIII halftime performance, though without the megaphone.
