Nightwish vocalist and solo artist Floor Jansen returns with her new single, 'Run', released via REVAMP Music / Warner Music. Following her solo debut LP "Paragon", a sold-out theatre tour, and a strong streaming footprint of nearly 150 million streams across her solo catalogue, 'Run' marks the beginning of a powerful new solo chapter.
The single reveals a heavier, darker side of Floor’s solo sound. Produced by Gordon Groothedde—with whom Floor previously worked on After Forever’s final album before her years with Nightwish—'Run' combines a compact song structure with down-tuned guitars, layered vocals, and Floor’s distinct vocal power. The track moves closer to the metal roots that shaped her early career, while retaining the melodic clarity and direct songwriting of her solo work.
Conceptually, 'Run' focuses on themes of liberation, self-empowerment, and refusing to disappear into someone else’s expectations.
“To me, 'Run' is about no longer making yourself smaller to fit into a shape that was never yours,”
says Floor.
“It’s about taking off the mask, trusting your own movement, and daring to be seen that way. Musically, it feels like the start of something heavier and more direct, but still honest, still melodic, still completely me.”
