Mia Rodriquez Shares New Halloween-Inspired Dance Anthem “Running 4 My Life!”
Mia Rodriguez returns today with her latest single, ‘RUNNING 4 MY LIFE!,’ a bold and energetic track that taps into her dance music roots. Released just in time for Halloween, the song builds on the dark-pop style that Mia has become renowned for, reinforcing her reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting pop artists.
Following her recent hit ‘RIDE’, which has already garnered over 2 million streams, ‘RUNNING 4 MY LIFE!’ mixes high-energy beats with a darker, haunted tone, embodying a blend of dance anthem and Halloween homage. It’s a track steeped in personal influences, with lyrics inspired by Michael Jackson’s Ghost of Jealousy video—lending the track its eerie atmosphere and showcasing Rodriguez’s ability to channel pop with a distinctively ominous flair.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind the song, Rodriguez shares, “‘RUNNING 4 MY LIFE!’ is now my favourite track I’ve made. I’ve never felt such urgency to write a song before—it’s like I finally found my sound, and nothing was going to stop me.” She adds, “I was inspired to create a powerful Halloween anthem, pushing myself to make whatever I wanted without limits. I grew up on dance music and want to bring that energy back—I want everyone to dance again! My dad played a big role in my love for the genre, always playing Ministry of Sound CDs when I was little. This track allowed me to express myself musically in a way I hadn’t dared to before. It’s time to dance and feel the energy!”
With over 2 million followers on TikTok, Mia’s reach extends far beyond traditional platforms, but it’s her ability to connect with her audience through raw, emotive pop that continues to win her legions of fans. This surprise release not only delivers on the promise of her previous work but sets the stage for more music to come as she crafts her next chapter.
With unapologetic confidence, bold ambition, and an unmistakable dark-pop sound, 22-year-old Mia Rodriguez has carved out her place in the pop world entirely on her own terms. Since her teenage debut, she’s amassed a formidable social media following and racked up an impressive 99.4 million global streams, with 56 million coming from her breakout hit, ‘Psycho.’ The trajectory of her career is clear: Mia Rodriguez is a force to be reckoned with.
Her accolades speak volumes—Triple J’s Unearthed Artist of the Year and Rolling Stone’s ’Best New Artist’ are just a few of the honours she’s earned. Beyond music, Mia’s impact extends to fashion, where her role as a cover star for Miz Vogue, OGX Beauty Crew, and Bonds reflects her growing influence in both industries.
After briefly stepping back for a period of self-discovery and healing, Mia Rodriguez is ready for a new chapter. Heading into 2025 with a renewed sense of purpose and empowerment, her next era is just beginning—watch this space.
