"Hideaway" is the debut single by Canadian recording musician Kiesza from her debut EP of the same name (2014) and her debut studio album, Sound of a Woman (2014). The song was released on April 11, 2014 through Island Records and co-writer Rami Samir Afuni's independent label Lokal Legend as the lead single from both the EP and the album.
Written by Kiesza and its producer Afuni, it was recorded in the summer of 2013 in New York City. "Hideaway" is a
Background
"It's a crazy story. I was just about to head to the airport to board a plane to LA. At the time, I was in New York City and I was going to head out there as my writing was picking up. I was ready to board a plane and Rami – the Record producer I work with – had started working on ['Hideaway'] in the studio and it sounded really cool. It reminded me of a lot of the people that I'm into, so I asked if I could jump on the mic before I had to go. The entire song just came out. Everything you hear was finished in an hour-and-a-half. It just poured out. I nearly missed my flight; it was like a scene from a movie. Two days later, I get this call from Rami saying, "I think you need to come back to New York." That's when I knew I'd found a sound that really worked for me. I ended up going back there and working on more tracks."
—Kiesza speaking to music website Planet Notion about the origins of "Hideaway".[1]
"Hideaway" was co-written by Kiesza and Rami Samir Afuni, and produced by Afuni.
"I'd written a lot of music and explored different genres but everything else that I was singing, it was more like it wasn't for me. Rather than try and make something work I just decided to not over-think it and the first song I did after that was Hideaway."[4]
Afuni then set up independent label, Lokal Legend to release "Hideaway" as a single,[2] but after moving to London, it later came to Kiesza's realization that she had a potential hit on her hands with "Hideaway", however, at the time she felt she was an outsider in the music industry in the United Kingdom which she described as "very Zeitgeist".[3] As a result, Kiesza held off releasing the track until January 2014 when she posted the song on SoundCloud,[4] and later "shopped the song" around to disc jockeys in the United Kingdom before garnering the attention of BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac who "fell in love" with "Hideaway".[3] Mac would play the song at clubs across the United Kingdom and on her radio show, resulting in "Hideaway" gaining momentum both critically and commercially.[3]

Music video
In February 2014, Kiesza released the video for "Hideaway" through the indie label Lokal Legend.[30] Idolator considered it unique, for having a single shot through the entire video (like Janet Jackson's music video for "When I Think of You" among others), as Kiesza walked and danced through the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn (Kent Ave & North 12th St).[30] John Gentile of Rolling Stone called the style "impressive".[31] Kiesza reported to Rolling Stone that she had a big problem making the video, partly because she broke a rib just before filming, and "couldn't move for an entire month afterward."[31] It was premiered by Annie Mac on her Mac's Special Delivery segment on BBC Radio 1.[32][33]
The video begins with a taxi and enters in with a faux hawk hairstyle. Kiesza is featured wearing a white bra, black suspenders, blue jeans and red sneakers. Kiesza is accompanied by dancers as she sings, walks and dances through the streets. The video concludes with Kiesza entering a taxi and being driven away.
The video was filmed by Kiesza's brother, Blayre Ellestad, and co-produced by Kiesza, Rami Samir Afuni, and choreographer Ljuba Castot.[34] "Hideaway" received a MTV Video Music Award nomination for Best Choreography.[35]
The unique and distinctive music video was parodied and remade a number of times. Especially popular was one done by Russian comedy duo Bonya and Kuzmich, which had received over 5.5 million views on YouTube as of April 2019, after being released in August 2014.[36][37]
