The story behind the song

"Run to You" captures the feeling of someone who has been hurt, playing a role each day, but finds solace and safety in another person's love. Though it was first conceived as a break-up song, it was rewritten to become a declaration of love, with the title remaining as a powerful plea. Released in 1993 from The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album, this song showcases Whitney Houston's incredible ability to convey deep emotion. It plays like an intimate confession, a vulnerable heart finding its way home.
