The release was first teased on April 17 on Facebook.
A different version was recorded in 2020 and featured on the animated film, Wolfwalkers.
A remix by Pablo Nouvelle was released on deluxe versions of AURORA's debut album.
AURORA started writing the song at age 13 and has mentioned writing the song during a blood moon in 2014, presumably on April 14-15. She recorded various field recordings and used them in this song, such as sounds of a wooden stick on a fence, breathing and the sound of AURORA hugging a tree; "which had no sound, but it's on the album."
"Running With The Wolves" is about freedom and joining nature again, getting away from phones, radio and all we keep around us. In an interview with The 405, AURORA said: "I just imagined the moon turning all the people around the world into wild animals, running away from all the rules, all the materialism, and technology. Just being a part of nature again, running free."
The promo text for the song states: "The song is about having the animal instinct inside you come to life. Running with them, joining them - the instinct taking over, giving you freedom and making you forget about your human self and all things we humans keep around us in the modern society. I think humans need to let go a bit more, shake their bodies more often, like the animals do.. It's a beautiful thing really. Sometimes when you look at the world, and you see what we've done to it, the way many of us hurt the world we live in, innocent animals, even our own kind! And that kind of makes you want to follow the wolves instead. At least for one night."
"Running With The Wolves" topped the iTunes chart in Norway upon its release and was listened more than 60,000 times on the first day on SoundCloud. It remained one of AURORA's most popular songs over the years.
In the 2016 edition of the Spellemannprisen (often referred to as the Norwegian Grammy Awards), the track was nominated for Song of the Year.
The song peaked at #72 on the official German songs chart, where it charted for 13 weeks until its exit from the chart. It was performed at the P3 Gull, where AURORA was nominated for New Artist of the Year, and at the European Border Breakers Awards, where AURORA won and was nominated in the following categories: Norwegian Album of the Year and Public Choice Award, respectively. AURORA represented her homecountry Norway at the award.

But don't you know we're stronger now
My heart still beats and my skin still feels
My lungs still breathe, my mind still fears
But we're running out of time (time)
Oh, all the echoes in my mind cry
There's blood on your liesThe sky's open wide
There is nowhere for you to hide
The hunter's moon is shining
I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the
Trick or treat, what would it be?
I walk alone, I'm everything
My ears can hear and my mouth can speak
My spirit talks, I know my soul believes
But we're running out of time
Oh, all the echoes in my mind cry
There's blood on your lies
The sky's open wide
There is nowhere for you to hide
The hunter's moon is shining
I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
A gift, curse, they track and hurt
Say you can dream
In nightmares seems
A million voices, silent screams
Where hope is left so incomplete
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the
I'm running with the

I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
In Aurora's song "Running With The Wolves", the lyrics depict the singer as a free spirit running with a pack of wolves. The song starts with a plea for safety and protection, but it quickly becomes clear that the singer is confident and empowered. She asserts that she is stronger than ever and highlights the fact that she still experiences fear along with her other human emotions. The song seems to be about embracing one's primal impulses and trusting oneself in the face of adversity.
The chorus of "Running With The Wolves" emphasizes the urgency of the situation. The singer suggests that time is running out and that there is no place left to hide. She juxtaposes this with the image of the hunter's moon shining in the sky, adding to the sense of danger and vulnerability. The second verse of the song continues with the theme of empowerment, as the singer asserts that she is capable of standing alone and that her senses and soul are in tune with the world around her. The ending of the song features a haunting refrain of the line "I'm running with the wolves", repeating the title in a way that emphasizes the singer's strength and defiance.

Go row the boat to safer grounds
Move towards a safer place
But don't you know we're stronger now
We are stronger than before
My heart still beats and my skin still feels
I am still alive and feel emotions
My lungs still breathe, my mind still fears
I am still able to breathe, but I am still afraid
But we're running out of time (time)
We are running out of time
oh, all the echoes in my mind cry
My thoughts echo in my mind and it hurts
There's blood on your lies
Your lies are hurtful
The sky's open wide
The sky is vast and open
There is nowhere for you to hide
You cannot hide from the truth
The hunter's moon is shining
The full moon is shining, symbolizing danger or a hunt
I'm running with the wolves tonight
I am running with a pack of wolves
Trick or treat, what would it be?
What will happen, good or bad?
I walk alone, I'm everything
I am alone, I am everything I have
My ears can hear and my mouth can speak
I can hear and speak
My spirit talks, I know my soul believes
I listen to my spirit and believe in my soul
a gift, curse, they track and hurt
Being different can be both a gift and a curse, and brings attention and harm
say you can dream
You can dream
in nightmares seems
Nightmares feel like reality
A million voices, silent screams
Many voices crying out, without words
where hope is left so incomplete
Hope is not fully fulfilled

@jpblinkue2316
Aurora is a rare musician with the unique style that can make you calm and emotional
@bryce212
Her style is in no way unique 😂 she just has a low tempo and talks into the mic. For some reason people like this shit??? Idk but yeah Billie Eilish, and Grace VanderWaal have accomplished the same thing and every time people try to call it unique. It’s literally just sadder music. The only thing unique about her is her voice because she’s Norwegian
@jessica5497
@@bryce212 wow chill. You know that Aurora was doing this before Bille and Grace right? so much so that this song inspired Billie to make music. I think she has some unique traits, as every good artist, not all songs are the same just because they're "slow". Her songwriting is really great. But anyway..
