"Check Yes Juliet (Run Baby Run)" (often stylized as "Check Yes Juliet") is a song by American rock band We the Kings. It was released in February 2008 as the second single from their eponymous debut album (2007). The band also produced a music video for the song. The track is currently their biggest hit on Billboard charts, peaking at No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2011, it gained "sleeper hit" status in Australia, where it peaked at No. 26 on the ARIA charts, being certified triple platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association for the shipment of 210,000 copies. It was also certified triple platinum in the US. The song is featured in the 2009 rhythm-based video game Lego Rock Band.

Music video

The video was directed by Alan Ferguson. It portrays lead singer Travis Clark as Romeo "tossing rocks" at Juliet's window. Juliet's parents do not approve of Juliet's relationship with Clark, and, therefore, ordered Juliet to stay away from him. The video ends with Juliet sneaking out to see Clark perform at a house party and ultimately leaving with him. Juliet is played by Addison Timlin.^[6]
