這首歌是歌手兼作曲家 Jackie Edwards 所譜寫，並錄製在自己1965的專輯之中，結果沒得到什麼迴響，反倒是同公司的樂團The Spencer Davis Group於同年推出的版本，在1966年初獲得英國單曲的冠軍，但在美國只達到了七十六名。

The Spencer Davis Group於1963年成軍於英國的伯明罕，但直到這首《Keep On Running》成功後才打響了樂團的名號。他們其他幾首知名的歌曲像是《Somebody Help Me》、《Gimme Some Lovin'》和《I'm a Man》等，之前我都未聽過，也覺得不怎麼好聽(《When I Come Home》還可以)。 

主唱這首歌的是電風琴兼吉他手Steve Winwood，表現不凡。想當然耳，這種有才華的人，怎肯一直屈就在以團長的名字作為團名的樂團之中？果然在1967他離開自組樂團，一度也和吉他之神Eric Clapton合作過。70年代後期開始個人獨唱事業，至今都還在巡迴演唱。
