"Run Like Hell" is a song by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, written by David Gilmour and Roger Waters. It appears on their eleventh studio album The Wall (1979). It was released as a single in 1980,[1][2] reaching #15 in the Canadian singles chart and #18 in Sweden, but it only reached #53 in the U.S. A 12" single of "Run Like Hell," "Don't Leave Me Now" and "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" peaked at #57 on the Disco Top 100 chart in the U.S.[3] To date, it is the last original composition written by both Gilmour and Waters, the last of such under the Pink Floyd banner, and the last composition recorded by all four members of the 1970s-era Floyd lineup.
