Miranda Lambert premiered a stunning Western visual for “Run,” a heartfelt ballad that features the powerhouse artist as the sole songwriter. The standout track appeared on Lambert’s latest full length studio record, Postcards From Texas.

The Longview, Texas-born country star ventured to an Arizona desert to film the Kate Rentz-directed music video that premiered on Thursday morning (February 20). Lambert serenades viewers with the emotional ballad, surrounded by breathtaking mountain ranges and towering cacti. Horses — including her own horse, Cool — gallop through the desert setting. She looks herself in the eye in a mirror bordered with vibrant flowers as she sings: “I’m Trying To Survive In/ This State Of Defeat/ Is It You Or I That Really Lost Me/ I’m Lookin’ For Someone/ I Wasn’t With You/ We Held On For Dear Life Babe/ But Both Of Us Knew/ I Was Gonna Run/ I Was Gonna Run.”

Lambert previously explained during an album release show at Casa Rosa, her bar and live music venue in Nashville, Tennessee, that she wrote “Run” about a decade ago. She told the crowd that the song is “from 2015. It’s old, and I’ve been kind of saving it. It didn’t really have a place. And I don’t know if I was actually ready, if I’m being honest, to sing it before now.” The singer-songwriter said via Rolling Stone in an interview shared on Thursday that she feels “a sense of freedom when you’re on the back of a horse with the wind in your hair, so it felt really significant to have Cool with me in this video.”

Lambert released her “honky tonk as hell” album, Postcards From Texas, in September. The album reunited the award-winning artist with some of her previous collaborators, including Jon Randall and Jack Ingram (The Marfa Tapes), Jesse Frasure, and others, plus her husband, Brendan McLoughlin. The 14-track project inspired by Lambert’s home state includes “Armadillo,” “Dammit Randy,” “Santa Fe” with fellow Texan Parker McCollum, “Wranglers,” “Alimony” and more.
