AURORA is celebrating the tenth anniversary of her breakthrough single ‘Runaway’ with a new documentary, Portrait Of A Song.

The documentary finds her in Norway, where the original ‘Runaway’ video – featuring the then 18-year-old running in the snow atop the mountains of Bergen – was filmed.

With the same director, Kenny McCracken, Aurora revisits the same iconic locations, offering a glimpse into the places that shaped the artist’s music at a young age.She has also released a new reworked orchestral version of the track to celebrate a decade of its existence.Check it out below:“A song I wrote when I was 11 has grown arms and legs on its own, and now it’s running around dancing with strangers,” she said in a press release. “Like it has found souls all around the globe to help keep it alive.

Like most things, it’s up to us whether we let something die, or not. I now find myself wanting to do the same, to be as brave as my song, and dance with strangers as well.”Taken from her acclaimed 2016 debut album ‘All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend’, the song catapulted the Norwegian singer-songwriter to global fame, racking up over 3billion streams across platforms.
