The song starts with frontwoman Moriah Formica delivering a strong, intimate message of a painful breakup with someone who wouldn’t let her go but who did cause the relationship to become toxic and completely impossible to continue. Running away as fast as she can is the only solution, and as the story progresses, this proclamation is amplified with more energy and musical intensity. The theme of liberating oneself from a negative person or situation resonates with the experiences of so many listeners, making this story absolutely relatable and deeply personal.
Moriah Formica says, “I wrote ‘Run’ about removing yourself from a toxic person or thing in your life.”
Plush - Run
The video setting places the band in an old urban building inside a large, loft-type apartment, mixing the group performance with the scenes where each member is separated in their own part of the building: bassist Ashley Suppa stuck in some narrow stairway, lead guitarist Bella Perron is left alone in a small tiny room, and the drummer Faith Powell is being pushed to the dark corner, while Moriah Formica continues to belt out her story behind some thick metal bars before they return to the main large and well-lit room to express their liberation and unity,
Music video director Chase Warren could not find a better location to artistically use such an authentic urban environment as a colorful undelaying canvas. It helps Plush highlight their stage presence and reveal the spirit of their live shows, capturing the band’s electrifying intensity.

For the band, this story would only be complete with a smashing performance in Okinawa, Japan, on October 5, 2024, at the Futenma Flight Line Fair, where fans greeted Plush with joyful energy and thrilling enthusiasm. Something that echoed the overwhelming success of The Runaways in Japan in 1977.
To thank their Japanese fans and followers, Plush has issued a special, limited version of the Find The Beautiful EP with Japanese lyrics, which is available here:
