I Don't Run is the second studio album by Spanish garage rock band Hinds. The album was preceded by the singles and music videos for "New For You", "The Club" and "Finally Floating". I Don't Run features jangling guitar and the interplay of dual vocalists Ana Perrote and Carlotta Cosials, with critics making musical comparisons to The Strokes, The Velvet Underground, The Breeders, Beach House, and The Libertines. The album includes both upbeat and relaxed songs, employing vocal harmonies, chants, guitar riffs, and fuzzed vocals. Lyrically, the album deals with more mature themes than Leave Me Alone, including the unglamorous realities of awkward romantic situations, infidelity, long-distance romance, and the loneliness of touring. The album includes lyrics in both English and Spanish. I Don't Run received uniformly positive reviews upon its release. Critics praised Hinds's ability to remain playful and authentic even while maturing their lyrics and diversifying their sound. Several critics noted an increase in sophistication of song structure and precision compared to their first album, with Stuart Berman of Pitchfork praising its "superior songcraft."
