Running Up That Hill was released by Kate Bush in 1985 on her album Hounds of Love and became a defining 80s art pop track. It returned to global charts in 2022 after Stranger Things season 4 made it Max Mayfield's favourite song and the key to escaping Vecna's curse. The scene sparked countless edits, covers and memes, turning an older hit into a Gen Z anthem for survival, friendship and holding on to music when things get dark.
