"Run It!" is the debut single by American singer Chris Brown featuring American rapper Juelz Santana. It was produced by Scott Storch, who wrote the song alongside Sean Garrett and Santana. The song appeared on Brown's self-titled debut album (2005), and was released as a single on June 30, 2005. The remix features fellow American rappers Bow Wow and Jermaine Dupri and was performed at the 2006 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards by Bow Wow and Chris Brown.

Commercially, the song topped the charts in the United States, Australia and New Zealand. "Run It!" also managed to peak inside the top ten in six other countries and the top twenty in another five. The song's music video, directed by Erik White, earned nominations at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards for Best New Artist and Viewer's Choice and won in the Best R&B Video category at the 2006 MTV Australia Awards.

Background and composition

The song was recorded at The Hit Factory Criteria, in Miami, during the sessions for Brown's self-titled first studio album. Scott Storch talked about the making of the track in a 2020 interview: "At that moment in my life, I was literally on fire (..) And [Chris Brown] came in, he was just about to turn 16, and I didn’t know how to do anything except make you a hit record, like that’s the only thing I could do. I was in there every day, every minute, every hour in the studio. And it was me, Sean Garrett, and we literally, immediately, made something so effortlessly. And I had told him right before we started making it, I was like, ‘I’m about to make you a number one song and you’ll be a superstar.’"{{cite web | url=https://www.revolt.tv/article/2020-09-21/69888/scott-storch-says-he-told-chris-brown-run-it-would-make-him-a-superstar/ | title=Scott Storch says he told Chris Brown "Run It!" would make him a "superstar" }} In a 2023 interview, Brown recalled that he felt "insecure" about releasing "Run It!" as his first single: "I [didn't] know if I liked the song, because I was too nervous in my head (..) but I knew I wanted to dance in it".{{citation |url=https://therewxndz.com/2023/09/chris-brown-joins-shannon-sharpe-on-club-shay-shay-podcast/|title=Chris Brown Joins Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay Podcast|website=therewxndz.com|date=September 13, 2023 }}

"Run It" was released as Brown's debut single on June 30, 2005, through digital distribution, as a solo version. On July 19, 2005, Jive and Zomba Records serviced the song to rhythmic crossover radio in the United States, with Juelz Santana being added as a featuring artist to it. They later solicited the song to contemporary hit radio on October 3, 2005.{{cite web|url=http://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=69239|title=Airplay Archive|work=FMQB|publisher=Friday Morning Quarterback Album Report, Inc. and Mediaspan Online Services|access-date=November 30, 2011|archive-date=February 20, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170220231440/http://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=69239|url-status=dead}} "Run It" was written and produced by Scott Storch and Sean Garrett, and features vocals by Juelz Santana. Santana's introduction on the song interpolates The Waitresses' 1980 single "I Know What Boys Like", written by Christopher Butler. The track is composed in the key of C♯ Phrygian as a Crunk&B song, that was described for having "slinky synth beats", a "catchy chorus", and an "ominous, creepy background". Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone compared the song's musicality to the 2004 single "Yeah!" by Usher, stating that it features a "mix of smooth seduction and cunning come-ons in Brown's baby-mack vocals."

Critical reception

Lyana Robertson of Vibe, praised "Run It!" as a "prelude to what Brown would continue to do for the next decade: relentlessly disrupt the constructs of rhythm and blues", noting that with the song "the young singer began an evolution of the genre."{{cite news|title=In 10 Years, Chris Brown Single-Handedly Transformed R&B |url= https://www.vibe.com/featured/chis-brown-10th-anniversary/| work=Vibe| access-date= May 31, 2016}} Bill Lamb of About.com awarded "Run It!" a four-star rating, commending the song's backing music, Brown's voice, and chorus, but called it "another cookie cutter Scott Storch production."{{cite web|last=Lamb|first=Bill|title=Run It! - Chris Brown|url=http://top40.about.com/od/singles/gr/runit.htm|publisher=About.com.

Viacom|access-date=July 2, 2012}} Directed by Erik White, it portrays an underground dance inside a school gym, where Brown meets a girl (portrayed by Destiny Lightsy) that he is suddenly attracted to and with whom he wants to dance. The video features several dance sequences in which the men and women dance off against each other. During the sequences, Brown makes several movements toward his love interest. At the end, Brown and his love interest are about to kiss before the security guards arrive, and the whole gym is evacuated, with both of them pulled in separate directions. However, as soon as the guards find nobody there, they start dancing. The music video received two nominations at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards for Best New Artist and Viewer's Choice, but lost to Avenged Sevenfold's "Bat Country" and Fall Out Boy's "Dance, Dance", respectively.{{cite web|title=MTV Video Music Awards (2006)|url=http://www.mtv.com/ontv/vma/2006/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060706040602/http://www.mtv.com/ontv/vma/2006/|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 6, 2006|publisher=MTV.
