Vi Talli’s new single, “Running,” continues the introduction to an artist whose story is as compelling as her music. Following her previous release, “You Don’t Know Me,” the song offers another preview of her upcoming debut album, No Time For Perfection. This time, the focus shifts from uncertainty to action.
“Running” sits comfortably in the modern acoustic pop space. The production is clean and spacious, built around gentle guitar, light atmospheric textures, and a steady rhythm.
Nothing feels overproduced; instead, the arrangement leaves room for Talli’s voice, which carries the track with a soft but confident tone.
What stands out most is the song’s theme. “Running” captures the moment when staying where you are no longer works and moving forward becomes the only real choice. It is a relatable idea, but it also reflects Talli’s own path.
Originally from Ukraine, she fled the country with her sister after Russia’s invasion in 2022. She spent time performing in cafés, streets, and small venues across France before eventually relocating to the US.
That journey gives the song extra weight. The optimism in “Running” feels earned rather than manufactured. The track carries a quiet determination that builds as it moves along, mirroring the idea of choosing yourself and continuing forward.
As a second release leading into No Time For Perfection, “Running” does exactly what a follow-up single should do. It expands the story, strengthens Talli’s artistic identity, and leaves listeners curious about what comes next.
