The song was written on the January 10, 1983 and became the last song written for Reckless. Adams and Vallance started writing it for the group Blue Oyster Cult. BOC asked Adams to write for them, and he wrote Run To You after noodling around with the intro to their biggest hit: Don’t Fear The Reaper. But when he submitted it to the band they turned down the song, as did the band 38 Special. Bryan decided to record the song himself.
