Not bad, not bad at all. Very much a Naughty Boy sound and it's not a club tune. However i think Heaven feat. Emili Sande is the better song. There is also a male vocal on the song alongside Bey and goes by the name of Arrow Benjamin. Props to Beyonce for allowing someone to co-sing with her.

This will probably be big though. The video is excellent! Seriously. Well done on NB for managing to get Beyonce on board. He clearly must have put the work in!

Not sure if it's as strong as some of the songs with Emeli Sande, even though Beyoncé is a more charismatic vocalist. I like Arrow Benjamin's vocals too. There's a nice delicacy to the track. I like it.

I actually loved the sound of the preview Beyonce posted on Instagram. It was a small clip from the first verse which led me to think it was going to be a superb ballad with some influences of dance music, but over overpowering.

When I listened to the whole song for the first time, I loved the sound of Beyonce's verse but then it builds up to the chorus and I just feel that type of production has become quite stale and dated. It worked when Emeli Sande released Heaven, but that was 2011.

I've played it a couple of times on YouTube since, and I'm liking it more with each listen. I just think the Naughty Boy production has already made Runnin' sound dated even though it's a brand new song.

In the US no one really knows who NB is. He's not famous over there. So while the dated point may be valid here in the UK, i don't think anyone will care in the US.

A good song is a good song.

A good song is a good song.
...and yet it's #38 at the moment on US iTunes.

With Beyonce's loyal fanbase in the US, you would've thought the song could've managed top 20 at the most by now.

It's not a song by Beyonce. She's just a featured artist.

Once more people know about the song i'm sure it will climb.
