"Who Can I Run To?" is a song originally recorded by American girl group The Jones Girls, for their eponymous album released in 1979. The song was covered and made popular by American girl group Xscape, who recorded the song for their second album Off the Hook (1995). The song was released as the album's second single on October 3, 1995, in the United States, by So So Def Recordings.[2] The song features lead vocals by LaTocha Scott and Tamika Scott.
"Who Can I Run To?" became Xscape's third top-ten single on the US Billboard Hot 100 as well as third single number-one single on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Internationally, it charted in New Zealand, Scotland, and the United Kingdom. The accompanying music video for "Who Can I Run To?", directed by Allan Grip Smith, was filmed in a restaurant. Billboard named the song number 58 on their list of 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time.[3]
..."Who Can I Run To?" found new life in the mid-'90s thanks to the vocal prowess of hitmakers Xscape, rightly turning the syrupy slow jam into one of the defining R&B hits in his era.
