}} "Running Back" is the debut single by Australian R&B recording artist Jessica Mauboy, which features American rapper Flo Rida. It was written by Mauboy, Audius Mtawarira, and Sean Ray Mullins, and was produced by Audius. "Running Back" was released for digital download on 19 September 2008, as the lead single from Mauboy's debut studio album, ''Been Waiting''. Mauboy felt "so excited and honoured" to work with Flo Rida, calling it a dream come true. The song peaked at number three on the ARIA Singles Chart and was certified double platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), for shipments of 140,000 units. In 2009, "Running Back" won 'Highest Selling Single' at the ARIA Music Awards, where it was also nominated for 'Breakthrough Artist Single'. It also won 'Urban Work of the Year' at the APRA Awards and 'Single Release of the Year' at the NT Indigenous Music Awards. The music video was directed by Fin Edquist, and portrays a fictional relationship between Mauboy and Flo Rida. The video has garnered over 1 million views on Vevo. The song has been performed live at the 2008 Sydney New Year's Eve event and on ''Australian Idol'', where Mauboy was a former contestant of the show in 2006. == Background and composition == In September 2007, Mauboy became a member of all-girl pop group Young Divas, replacing one of the group's original members, Ricki-Lee Coulter, who had left to resume her solo career. Mauboy's management saw the group as a "perfect learning curve" about all that was positive and negative in the music industry.〔 Together, they released their second studio album, ''New Attitude'' in November, and the album's lead single, "Turn Me Loose". After things went downhill for the group following the song's release, Mauboy went to the studio to begin working on her debut solo album ''Been Waiting'', because she wanted to be a solo artist and it was always on her mind to become one. Mauboy began writing songs with Adam Reily, Israel Cruz, Brooke McClymont, and Audius Mtawarira. In June 2008, Mauboy told ''The Jakarta Post'' that her debut solo single would be released in August, with the album planned for a September release. Two months later, it was announced that Mauboy had left the Young Divas to resume her solo career. "Running Back" was written by Mauboy, Mtawarira, and Sean Ray Mullins, and was produced by Audius. "Running Back" is one of the three tracks Audius produced for the album.〔 Mullins has stated that when he hears the song on the radio, "he's merely satisfied" that it fits the formula. "Running Back" was recorded at The Sound Academy in Sydney, New South Wales, and Phil Tan mixed the track at Soapbox Studios, Atlanta, Georgia.〔 Mauboy and Flo Rida recorded their verses in separate studios. She said that the song is based on "one of my past experiences".〔 In an interview with Take 40 Australia, Mauboy said working with Flo Rida was a dream come true, "I love urban music and have been a huge fan of Flo-Rida's from the moment I heard 'Low'. For him to now feature on my first single I just can't believe it! I am so excited and honoured." "Running Back" is an urban pop ballad, featuring "a restrained vocal performance from Mauboy." According to Davey Boy from Sputnikmusic, the song "is one-part smooth ballad with its twinkling piano loop and lovelorn lyrics, and one-part contemporary hip hop with its deceptively slinky vocals and effective—if phoned in—Flo Rida cameo." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Running Back (Jessica Mauboy song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
