“‘RUNNING 4 MY LIFE!’ is now my favourite track I’ve made. I’ve never felt such urgency to write a song before—it’s like I finally found my sound, and nothing was going to stop me. I was inspired to create a powerful Halloween anthem, pushing myself to make whatever I wanted without limits. I grew up on dance music and want to bring that energy back—I want everyone to dance again! My dad played a big role in my love for the genre, always playing Ministry of Sound CDs when I was little. This track allowed me to express myself musically in a way I hadn’t dared to before. It’s time to dance and feel the energy!” – Mia Rodriguez.

With lyrics brimming with urgency, RUNNING 4 MY LIFE! gives fans a unique taste of Mia’s evolving style.

Rodriguez’s massive TikTok following of over 2 million fans only adds to the buzz, and this release sets the stage for her next chapter. With this Halloween-ready anthem, Mia Rodriguez invites listeners to dance, feel the thrill, and embrace her bold, energetic new sound.
