The only original song featured in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, “Run It”, has debuted alongside a dynamic music video! Released digitally via BBR Music Group/BMG/Republic Records, the track brings fresh energy to the highly anticipated film, set to hit theaters on December 20th, 2024.
The music video is a collision of worlds, featuring Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles racing through an arena while intercut with footage of Jelly Roll performing in the studio. Fans are in for a treat when Jelly Roll morphs into a video game avatar mid-performance, joined by Shadow as a DJ—inspired by models from Sonic the Fighters! Adding to the excitement are cameos from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 stars, including Jim Carrey, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, and more.
“Run It” was co-written by Jelly Roll alongside an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic), DJ David Guetta, and Sean Cook, who also co-produced the track. The song seamlessly blends genres, combining Jelly Roll’s signature country style with elements of pop, hip-hop, and electronic music. Its upbeat, anthemic refrain encapsulates Sonic’s boundless energy:
We gonna run it, run it, run it till we running out of road!
This track follows in the footsteps of previous high-energy songs for the Sonic franchise, such as “Speed Me Up” by Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Yachty, and Sueco the Child (Sonic the Hedgehog, 2020), and “Stars In The Sky” by Kid Cudi (Sonic the Hedgehog 2, 2022). These songs have collectively amassed tens of millions of streams, highlighting their resonance with fans.
As Sonic speeds back to theaters this holiday season, “Run It” promises to amplify the excitement, capturing the adventurous spirit that defines the Sonic the Hedgehog universe. Fans can stream the track now and gear up for the film’s release on December 20th, 2024.
