It reached the top of iTunes dance charts and currently has over 16 million plays on Spotify as of May 2016. It was featured in the trailer for the Emma Roberts movie Nerve.

About the sound of the track, Krewella stated:

"We went back to the roots for that one,” says Yasmine. “The reason why we fell in love with dance music is people like Daft Punk, Justice, MSTRKRFT ... all those people were doing this grungy, punk-y dance stuff and we wanted to channel that for the new song that’s out."

The video for the song was released onto YouTube on July 22, 2015. It features cameo performances from 3LAU and Rory Kramer. The video sheds light on issues such as self-harm and suicide. The music video was directed by Rory Kramer and uploaded to their official Vevo channel.

Matt Joseph from We Got This Covered gave "Somewhere to Run" a positive review stating; "After all, it’s always exciting to see artists trying something different, no matter how it ends up working out."
