Most of the time, Kip Moore can’t really turn off that creative, artistic side that has him chasing that cool chord progression or that So, when he comes off the road from being on tour, his mind is usually buzzing with song or melody ideas that he has to get down before going to sleep. His current single was born from one of those moments.
I wrote ‘Running for You’ possibly four years ago [with] Blair Daly and Troy Verges,” says Kip. “The guitar groove was something that me getting off the road at two o’clock in the morning when I was living in that awful room, which made me, there’s no TVs, there’s no couches, there’s no nothing. All it was was guitar amps and guitars, and it made me stay in that really strange place mentally. I remember that night picking up the guitar and coming up with that really cool thing and kind of some of that melody.”
“Running for You” is from his latest album, Wild Ones.
Kip is currently Down Under for the CMC Rocks Queensland Festival. He’ll return to the States in time to perform during the ACM Party for a Cause April 3rd in Las Vegas.

“‘Running for You’ is the oldest song on the record. I wrote ‘Running for You’ possibly four years ago [with] Blair Daly and Troy Verges.
