“Running Up That Hill” was Kate Bush’s most successful song of the 1980s, hitting the Top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and eventually reaching number three on the UK Singles Chart.

The English singer-songwriter replied, in her official site , to the exciting good news:

we can thank Strange things’ new season to introduce a new generation to this hit single from the 80s, plus an even more impressive Max, one of the first volumes important characters . I never imagined I’d be impressed with her character this season, as previous seasons saw her in the group, being either Lucas’s girlfriend or Eleven’s business partner. This season gave her a more exciting role where we got to see the full range of Sadie Sink’s performances.

One of moments we can’t forget from season 3 it was Max who watched his brother sacrifice himself to save everyone from the Mind Flayer. She broke up with Lucas, separated from her friends of hers, and spent the first part of volume 1 alone, making her an easy target for Vecna. Fortunately, Kate Bush’s power saved her from the same fate as Chrissy, Fred and Patrick. “Running Up That Hill” gave the scene the frantic intensity and suspense the audience needed as we crossed our fingers to get Max to get away from Vecna.
