"Shoot the Runner" is a song by English
Composition
The song is in 4/4 swing time and is the band's first song to feature both Tom Meighan and Sergio Pizzorno on lead vocals. Meighan sings the chorus, starting with the lines 'Shoot the runner, shoot shoot the runner/I'm a king and she's my queen' while Pizzorno sings the other parts (starting with the line 'Dream, dream again in your way/Always knew that you would'). However, in some acoustic performances, the two vocalists swap parts.
It is also the band's first single to feature profanity, and therefore 'bitch' was censored on radio edits.
