The acclaimed artist Jelly Roll provides the song “Run It” for Paramount Pictures’ Sonic The Hedgehog 3. The track is out now.
Award-winning multi-genre phenomenon Jelly Roll has released “Run It” today as the only original song for the third instalment of the beloved franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Listen HERE via BBR Music Group/BMG/Republic Records.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3, from Paramount Pictures in association with SEGA Sammy Group, opens in cinemas everywhere on December 21, 2024. Advance tickets are on sale November 29, 2024.
RUN IT
Jelly Roll notably co-wrote “Run It” with a powerhouse cohort of collaborators. Including three-time GRAMMY® Award winner and OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder. Two-time GRAMMY® Award winner and superstar artist and DJ David Guetta, and GRAMMY® Award-nominated songwriter Sean Cook. Tedder, Guetta, and Cook co-produced the track as well. The song marks Jelly Roll’s first collaboration with Tedder and Guetta.
“Run It” showcases Jelly Roll’s versatility once again, striking a balance between country, pop, hip-hop, and electronic. Anchored by breezy acoustic guitar and handclaps, the song climaxes on a bright dancefloor-ready bridge and sunny refrain, “We gonna run it, run it, run it till we running out of road!” It’s an upbeat and undeniable anthem that’s as energetic as Sonic himself.
Be on the lookout for the premiere of an official music video to accompany the track soon.
CONTINUING TRADITION
It continues what has become a tradition of high-octane bangers tailormade for the Sonic the Hedgehog universe. Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Yachty, and Sueco the Child teamed up for “Speed Me Up” in 2020 to accompany Sonic the Hedgehog, amassing 59 million-plus Spotify streams and counting. Meanwhile, Kid Cudi contributed “Stars In The Sky” to 2022’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2, gathering over 31 million Spotify streams. As such, Jelly Roll finds himself in good company.
PREMISE
