It&#8217;s been shot during this year&#8217;s record-breaking heatwave and Sophie takes full advantage of it, dancing in her summer clothing under the bright blue skies. The song unapologetically takes inspiration from the Queens of the 90s &#8211; Britney, Xtina, and Aaliyah. &#8216;Run To&#8217; is a perfect match for Mina&#8217;s voice and style, so it&#8217;s a surprise to discover it wasn&#8217;t always going to be her song:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI wrote the song for another singer, but the whole time I was writing it, I thought &#8211; this song is just ME!
