Australian singer-songwriter OLLIE HUNT has released “ON THE RUN,” a new pop single addressing the uncertainty of early adulthood, personal ambition, and the challenges of moving beyond familiar relationships. Produced by NEW-HAVEN, with additional vocal production and background vocals from Gary Pinto, the release marks another step in the independent artist’s developing career.
At just 20 years old, OLLIE HUNT is navigating a period of significant personal and professional change. The song draws from his experiences balancing excitement about the future with the uncertainty of leaving behind people, places, and circumstances that have shaped his life.
“ON THE RUN” explores the conflicting desire for meaningful relationships and personal independence. Its lyrics incorporate references to train journeys, exit signs, and clipped wings, reflecting the complicated emotions associated with change and the possibility of starting over.
Speaking about the release, OLLIE HUNT explains that he hopes listeners recognize something of their own experiences in the song. “Having just turned 20, I’m at a point in my life where I’m so excited for my future,” he shares, acknowledging that self-doubt remains part of the process despite his confidence in what lies ahead.
The single features production from NEW-HAVEN, whose credits include Imagine Dragons, NCT, Martin Garrix, and Benson Boone. Australian singer and vocal producer Gary Pinto also contributed to the recording, supporting its combination of contemporary pop and R&B influences.
OLLIE HUNT has independently accumulated more than 700,000 streams across a catalog that includes his debut EP Prelude and singles “Running Back,” “Ah!,” “SPEEDY,” and “Stay Cold.” Alongside his recording career, OLLIE HUNT continues developing a creative identity influenced by fashion, visual storytelling, and contemporary pop culture, with ambitions extending beyond the Australian music industry.
With “ON THE RUN,” OLLIE HUNT documents a transitional period in his life while continuing to establish his presence as an independent artist working across pop, R&B, and hip-hop.
