Balli Ivory’s Don’t Run Away! drifts between reality and escapism, layering hazy vocals over shimmering synths and punchy drums.
The UK alt-pop artist and R&B/hip-hop producer crafts a track that feels suspended in time—somewhere between a dream and a restless mind caught in self-doubt.
The song’s iridescent piano chords and atmospheric production set the stage for Balli Ivory’s introspective lyrics.
“In this track, I confront the struggles and self-doubts between myself and my creativity,” he explains.
The tension is palpable as the melody sways between light and shadow, mirroring the emotional dilemma of staying grounded versus drifting away.
“I can’t bring you back to reality / You won’t listen / I know that you’d rather be flying high and far from your worries tonight,” he sings, his delivery floating over the track’s hypnotic rhythm.
The production has an ethereal feel to it that is intoxicating coupled with an underlying urgency in the fast paced tempo.

Balli Ivory Don’t Run Away! Lyrics
Running away
Don’t run away
Won’t you just stay
I’m silent
The clouds is where I’m hiding
Do you need reminding
Of where you’re supposed to be
To be
And are you still in your dreams
I see you smiling
Far too deep in your sleep
Just wipe your tears dry
Can you see me trying
I can’t seem to hide it
You’re already tired
Of running away
Don’t run away
Won’t you just stay
You’re running away
Just don’t run away
Oh won’t you just stay
I can’t bring you
Back to reality
You won’t listen
I know that you’d rather be
Flying high and
Far from your worries tonight
I can’t bring you
Back to reality
You won’t listen
I know that you’d rather be
Flying high and
Far from your worries tonight
That’s why you’re running away
Don’t run away
