HAVEN. & Kaitlin Aragon’s ‘I Run’ Tops Dance Radio Chart Three Months After AI Controversy

HAVEN.’s “I Run,” featuring Kaitlin Aragon, jumps 4-1 on this week’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart (dated Feb. 21), earning each act its first career Billboard leader. The song rises to the summit thanks to a 44% increase in plays (among 24/7 dance reporters and pop stations’ mix show hours) Feb. 6-12, according to Luminate.

“I Run” also ranks at No. 5 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs after spending the previous four weeks at its No. 4 high.

The track was released Nov. 21, 2025, via AAO/Isekai/broke records and gained traction through remixes by David Guetta and James Hype. Its path to No. 1, however, was marked by controversy. An earlier version of the song, released in October without Aragon, went viral on TikTok and quickly surged in streams, but drew scrutiny over its use of AI-assisted vocal processing. The uncredited vocals drew similarities to British singer Jorja Smith, prompting speculation that the recording was an unauthorized deepfake. Following complaints and multiple takedown notices, the song was removed from streaming platforms and withheld from appearing on Billboard’s charts amid the active dispute.

HAVEN., which comprises British producers Jacob Donaghue and Harrison Walker, has maintained that the song’s voice was created using AI-assisted processing that was applied solely to Walker’s own recorded vocal, and that it was not sampled or modeled on Smith specifically. Still, the controversy stalled the song’s initial momentum just as it was poised for a chart breakthrough.

The current version of “I Run,” featuring newly recorded vocals from Aragon, marks a fresh chapter for the song, and now a first No. 1 for both credited artists.
