Charlotte Mathias made "RUNAWAY" to illustrate the subtle pressures young girls face regarding dating experiences, while also emphasizing the awkwardness and unpredictability associated with modern romantic relationships. Like many women, Ava comes to realize that her relationships with her female friends should not be jeopardized for a boy and that she is far more valuable than her experience level.
