"Running with the Wolves" is the fourth single released by Aurora and the second single on Running with the Wolves and All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend. It was written by Aurora, Michelle Leonard and Nicolas Rebscher and produced by Odd Martin Skålnes, Rebscher and Magnus Skylstad. On 20 April 2015, the song was officially released worldwide.

In 2020, as part of the Apple TV+ animated film Wolfwalkers, a newer version of the song was released, which is heard in the soundtrack and trailer. This version uses medieval Irish instruments as the backing music.[1][2] The song was also used for the theme song for Wolfblood series 4–5, as well as Wolfblood Secrets in addition appearing on an episode of The Blacklist.

Composition

A Scandipop and electropop song,[3][4] Aurora wrote it during the blood moon of 2014. The song is about freedom and joining nature again, getting away from phones and radio and all the distractions around us.

In an interview with The 405, she said: "I just imagined the moon turning all the people around the world into wild animals, running away from all the rules, all the materialism and technology. Just being a part of nature again, running free."[5] She added:

The song is about having the animal instinct inside you come to life. Running with them, joining them – the instinct taking over, giving you freedom and making you forget about your human self and all things we humans keep around us in the modern society.

I think humans need to let go a bit more, shake their bodies more often, like the animals do ... It's a beautiful thing really.

Sometimes when you look at the world, and you see what we've done to it, the way many of us hurt the world we live in, innocent animals, even our own kind! And that kind of makes you want to follow the wolves instead. At least for one night.[6]
