“Running home,” the new single by Jade LeMac, not only feels like a hug but also like a warm embrace. The young Vancouver artist transforms the idea of choosing, again and again, the person you love into an enveloping melody that reflects a deep sense of honesty and the certainty that, regardless of doubts or insecurities, your heart has already decided your destiny.
“‘Running Home’ is about reassuring the person you are in a relationship with that you will always choose them no matter how they might feel,” Jade assures.
“Running Home” fuses alternative pop with intimate nuances, where voice and production work together to convey warmth and determination in the message.
At just 21 years old, she has become an expert at telling stories that cross musical and emotional boundaries. Her connection to her half-Asian roots and the 2SLGBTQ+ community is reflected in this effort, which strays from labels.
It’s no coincidence that her career is marked by impressive numbers and significant collaborations. Since debuting with “Constellations” in 2021, which has amassed over 220 million global streams and has even been featured in productions on Tubi and Netflix, Jade has established herself as a storyteller capable of creating captivating music. The success of its piano version, with over 191 million streams, confirmed that emotion is one of her greatest strengths.
On “Running Home,” Jade maintains that narrative thread. The track doesn’t seek to surprise with extreme sonic twists; on the contrary, its strength lies in its simplicity and the way each verse supports the title’s promise: that in a world of uncertainty, the decision to run home, metaphorically or literally, can be the greatest act of love.
This release comes amid a busy 2025 for Jade LeMac: after her performance at Lollapalooza on July 31 and a mini-headlining tour, she’s gearing up to open for Maren Morris in the United States and present her new EP this fall. Jade LeMac is not only running “home,” but also toward the pinnacle of her own career.
