Track Description
Available in:
"Running Up That Hill" is a song by English singer and songwriter Kate Bush from her fifth studio album, Hounds of Love (1985). Written and produced by Bush, the song was released in the United Kingdom as the lead single from Hounds of Love on 5 August 1985 through EMI Records. The B-side of the 7-inch single contains the song, "Under the Ivy". The 12-inch single, Bush's first release in that format, contains an extended remix and an instrumental version of "Running Up That Hill", as well as "Under the Ivy". A limited 7-inch single gatefold sleeve edition was also released. The song's title on the Hounds of Love album and all subsequent releases was "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)".

Upon its original 1985 release, "Running Up That Hill" reached number three on the UK Singles Chart and number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and was Bush's first Top 40 hit in the latter country. Bush performed the song live for the first time in 1987 at The Secret Policeman's Third Ball event accompanied by Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour.

The song was featured as the main theme song for the 1986 BBC 1 children's drama serial, Running Scared. In 2012, a remix featuring newly recorded vocals premiered during that year's Summer Olympics closing ceremony, and entered the UK top 10 for one week, at number six. In 2022, "Running Up That Hill" received renewed attention when it was prominently featured in season 4 of the Netflix series, Stranger Things. Its appearance led to the song's resurgence on charts around the world, reaching the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the charts in eight countries, including the United Kingdom for three consecutive weeks.
