Run, Jump, Skip and Sing is the fourth Barney album and was released on January 14, 1997, by the music division of Lyrick Studios, making it the first album to be released under the studio[2] since the distribution deal with EMI expired. It was soon re-released by Koch Records and HIT Entertainment on April 22, 2003.[3] On April 10, 2020, the album was transferred to Warner Music Group's Arts Music division, along with other Barney albums, as Mattel entered into an exclusive, multi-year global music licensing agreement between the company, announced on May 1, 2020.[4]

The same year of the album's release, it commercially went on to peak at number three on Billboard's Top Kid's Albums on March 22, 1997.[5]

Following the release of Run, Jump, Skip and Sing a Spanish language version, titled Corre, Brinca, Salta y Canta, was released on April 15, 2002. Unlike its English counterpart, the songs were taken from other episodes and home videos.
