context_section_description: An uptempo song, "I'm Gonna Run to You" is composed in a style evocative of pop and Christmas music, built on a beat with multi-tracked harmonies. Its lyrics declare that the singer intends to be with their lover during Christmas, regardless of what difficulties may arise to try and prevent that. The song incorporates various instruments, including bell chimes, bass effect and cowbells. The song was written by Mendler and Jamie Houston and produced by Houston. In December 2011 during an interview for Kidz World, Mendler talked about the song: "Working on the song was so much fun. I worked with Jamie Houston and we came up with the idea of people being apart and trying to reunite. We wanted it to be sort of a holiday-related song but something you could listen to year-round hopefully. I hope people like it."
  The song was released as a promotional single on November 18, 2011.
