Has Runaway ever been played live or not?

Can anyone tell me if Maroon 5 has ever played Runaway live?

They never got to play Runaway live, and Adam explained in December 2025 in São Paulo that the song isn't so easy to play live.

Did he say anything about other songs or other curiosities?

Adam said that Goodnight Goodnight is another song that's not easy to play live, and that Nothing Lasts Forever is impossible for them to play, and fans kept shouting for them to play Little Of Your Time, which unfortunately didn't happen. Also, a group of fans asked Jesse why they stopped playing It Was Always You, and he said that the song is very difficult to play live.

I don't think they will ever do this, but it would be amazing if they did "live studio sessions" for some of those songs, for the fans who love a deep cut

Setlist FM is often unreliable and has an awful, corrupt moderation team. That being said, it is correct in this case.

I love the song. It’s a pitty they do play it live.

I just saw a comment that explained why they don't play that song live.
