@garisbaldeagle I also think it was written for Frankie J, but 99% sure it's Bruno Mars voice. I saw the leaked track list for Frankie's album that included runaway, but it didn't appear on his album. Someone asked Frankie about this song on Twitter and he said, "not me." He didn't mention who sang the demo, but the voice is distinctly Bruno Mars. Again, Mars was in the business around 2008 or earlier. Earliest credit for Mars is 'Lost' and it came out in June '08(as Menudo 'Lost.)
Bruno Mars wrote this song and sang this demo of it to give to other artist. As this song was for other artist, it was also given to Frankie J for consideration whether or not he will use the songs rights for publication...
@garisbaldeagle There are 1332 tiles named "Runaway" on BMI. Leaked demo version of this song came out and was said to be on FrankieJ's album, but it never made it onto an official record. There was a cd produced (probably without copyright) overseas that mislabeled this. Mars was in the music business as a songwriter/producer/singing demos around 2008. Also, this issue has been resolved since Frankie verified on twitter around December 2010 that he didn't sing this, so just enjoy the music.
Confirmed by Frankie himself, when asked if he's the one singing on Runaway, his response was, "Not me!". He didn't say it was Mars, but he did put end to the debate. Now vote this up so the confusion can be done and over with. Follow me on Twitter! @ThatChrisFM
This is Frankie J, people geez. Go look on the BMI website and see that it was written by Francisco Bautista, Claude Kelly and Nathaniel Hills. It was produced by Nate "Danja" Hills. This unreleased song is old! At least from 2008. Before Bruno Mars came out as a singer.
@ersity Also, I'm not sure if it was even 2008. That was just a guesstimate. When I search this song up on the BMI website, I didn't look up the song title, I looked through Nathaniel Hills' name.
during the chorus you can tell its bruno. sounds just like him when he sings with b.o.b in nothing on you& its similar sounding to long distance. CHECK IT PEOPLE! this is my first time listening to it. def bruno. it could be the sound from how the person uploaded it. pwnd. amazing song no doubt.
@ersity Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is Bruno Mars then. His voice is lighter than Frankie J's. But now I'm wondering what that song was that Frankie wrote with Claude Kelly and Nate Hills (Danja). Danja's earlier productions from '05 to '07 didn't credit Marcella Araica as a songwriter so I think they worked together for Frankie J's Priceless, released in '06. I found 5 total songs on the BMI website credited to the 3 called "Jealous", "Magic", "Tears", "Untitled Love Song and "Runaway"
For everyone.This was Bruno Mars song before he got famous.I dont know if he sold it but it was written by bruno.Look it up.Anyway listen to it. It clearly sounds like bruno mars.
@ersity Well the fact that there's a song titled "Runaway" with Frankie J's name to the song on BMI & how Danja said he had recording sessions with Frankie, I'm not dismissive of the idea. If you listen to Danja's other productions, this sounds similar to his work. Nothing like the Smeezingtons. Altho Danja & Bruno Mars were involved with a Menudo project around that time. Could be a demo written by Frankie and demoed by Bruno. Altho I can't see why Frankie couldn't have recorded it himself lol
@garisbaldeagle I think we solved the problem. If you didn't mention Danja, I would never have found the Claude Kelly and Frankie J's "Run Away" song. Everyone could finally stop arguing and just enjoy the music. Best regards.
this is really a frankie j original... bruno mars have covered this song a few years ago... don't be confused by the both of them. 'coz they've got really different voices... i love 'em both... if u wanna hear bruno mars' version just search "RUNAWAY by BRUNO MARS"
This is definitely 100% Bruno. I have all his songs and can recognise that voice a mile away. He must have recorded it before he got famous. It is possible you know...
you all know Bruno Mars was a song writer.. and wrote a lot of songs for different singers.. and he could of sang it first, but had sold it to Frankie J .. i think it sounds like a bit of both of them .. and i Love the song
@xLinahhRocksYoSocksx Bruno Mars signed with Motown in 2004. Just because you have never heard of him before 2010 doesn't mean he doesn't exist before then. Bruno Mars started singing demos since 18 or 19. Again, I don't understand why people who argue for Frankie doesn't even listen to him when he said, "NOT ME!"
@garisbaldeagle I found it, the REAL Claude Kelly Ft. Frankie J's "Run Away" (Notice the space.) Produced by Danja. I can't put a link, but if you put "danja claude frankie run away" in google, it should be the first link. There is a player that plays the song. It's completely different from this song. That makes me 100% sure that this is Bruno Mars "Runaway."
this is BRUNO MARS!!! and for those who don't know, bruno mars wrote this song for Frankie J and many other artis.....wrote by Bruno Publish by Frankie.... also Frankie J have a version of this HIM singing, but this is bruno mars when he did the first sample record.
This isn't Frankie J song, it's just a demo Bruno Mars did before he got famous. If you search correctly, you will find a song by Claude Kelly called "Run Away" featuring Frankie J and produced by Danja. If you are a Frankie J fan, you should know that Frankie J did "Run Away," not "Runaway." The name is similar, but the song is completely different.
@eastrider22this is not frankie j hes been my fav singer for six years i think i know his voice even if he does change it thats why i have 8o leaked tracks from frankies new album
This song sounds exactly like Join Me by H.I.M. its crazy how i just realized it, I was like where have i heard this beforee D: sounds to me like its just sped up -.-
people please think about this....it possible that bruno wrote it and recorded it for frankie and he just used brunos voice as his own cause come on this voice is deff bruno
@mrsamp20 he only has one other album .. which only has 4-5 songs. I have the album... & runaway is not on it. This is kind of frustrating. Its frankie j.
just cause its uploaded in 2008 doesnt mean i cant be bruno o-o its not like he was born a full grown man recently =-= he couldve recorded the song before he became famous
amor this song b so true bby, this fights we been triugh what hve u done amor. i love u trough all n u know it i always b the brave one. in this big relationship amor now u use to b a house away from me . now amor u 10 miles away amor i dnt c u ass often as i use to amor. but i wont give up cus im so much in love with u amor so i tell u bbymama runaway with me all i want amor t amo just me n u togheter solos go do our thang one mo time like u told me we did in u dream ampr well two years
How can you say this is Bruno mars when this vid was uploaded 0ct 2008, i dont think bruno mars was known since.. till just recently . Dont get me wrong I LOVE BRUNO MARS!! but this is def. Frankie J.

dude... this song was uploaded in 2008.... it's been frankie j and it still is!

Guys this is Frankie J. Bruno didn't use that much auto-tune in his chorus' in 2008. Bruno Mars also doesn't slur his words together that much...
Frankie J wrote the song for Bruno Mars. You can find the Bruno Mars' version on youtube, too. This is the demo version Frankie J recorded.
Confirmed by Frankie himself, when asked if he's the one singing on Runaway, his response was, "Not me!". He didn't say it was Mars, but he did put end to the debate. Now vote this up so the confusion can be done and over with.

Also, Bruno Mars' song with the similar title is "Runaway Baby". UA-cam "Runaway Baby" and you will see that is Bruno Mars', and this is Frankie J's.
OMG i am sooo in LOVE with Frankie J!!!!
@run3gh0st
you're right they have their own distinct voice and this is definitely Bruno Mars !
They both have great voices though !!
U know what I dont care who sings it but I am in love with this song 3
@sjantenel Lol, this is frankie, if you look at the date it says "october 07,2008" Bruno just did a cover on it. Their voices just sound similar.
@ersity
Also, I'm not sure if it was even 2008. That was just a guesstimate. When I search this song up on the BMI website, I didn't look up the song title, I looked through Nathaniel Hills' name.

@garisbaldeagle
I think we solved the problem. If you didn't mention Danja, I would never have found the Claude Kelly and Frankie J's "Run Away" song. Everyone could finally stop arguing and just enjoy the music. Best regards.
