"Runnin' Out of Air" is a song recorded by American country music duo Love and Theft. It was released in November 2012 as the second single from their second studio album, Love and Theft.[1] The song was written by Matt Jenkins, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne.[2]
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four-and-a-half stars out of five, comparing it to "a busted piñata that just keeps giving sweet goodness". Dukes wrote that "even traditionalists won’t be able to keep from tapping a boot when the first hit of the snare drum melts into a funky guitar lick that sets the mood for what’s to come. […] Add guitar, piano, mandolin and effortless harmonies, and you have a single that bursts out of the speakers." He predicted that "by embracing everything great about artists like Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift while adding their own unique sounds, they’ve created a single radio will still be playing years from now."[3] In his review of the album, Matt Bjorke of Roughstock wrote that the song "feels like another potential hit with the moody, swampy melody being accentuated with mandolins and b-3 in Josh Leo's production mix a long with a little cow bell". Bjorke felt that it was "a nice play on love lost and the sadness that can accompany those emotions".[4]
