The band achieved its first commercial success on Myspace as an unsigned act. In late 2002, after OneRepublic played shows throughout the Los Angeles area, several record labels approached the band with interest, but the band signed with Velvet Hammer, an imprint of Columbia Records. They made their first album with producer Greg Wells during the summer and fall of 2005 at his studio, Rocket Carousel, in Culver City, California. The album was scheduled for release on June 6, 2006, but the group was dropped by Columbia two months before the album was released. The lead single of that album, "Apologize", was released on April 30, 2006, on Myspace, eventually reaching number one on the Myspace charts.
In 2007, OneRepublic released their debut album, Dreaming Out Loud. Their lead single, "Apologize", was remixed by Timbaland, becoming a huge international success, reaching number one in sixteen countries and subsequently earning them a Grammy Award nomination. The second single, "Stop and Stare", mirrored its predecessor's success. The album was later certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The band's second album, Waking Up (2009), produced the singles "All the Right Moves", "Secrets", "Marchin On", and "Good Life", with the last reaching the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100.
OneRepublic's third album, Native (2013), became the band's first top ten album on the Billboard 200, and highest-charting album to date, charting at number four. The lead single, "If I Lose Myself", charted within the top ten in several countries, while the album's third single, "Counting Stars", became the band's most successful single in recent years, obtaining top-five placements in Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, the US, and the UK. This marks their highest-charting single in the United Kingdom to date. It also peaked at number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100, matching the group's highest peak of "Apologize" in 2007.
On October 7, 2016, OneRepublic released Oh My My, their fourth studio album, featuring several collaborators, including Cassius, Peter Gabriel, and Santigold. Preceded by the singles "Wherever I Go", released on May 13, 2016, and "Kids", released on August 12, 2016, it was recognized as a change in their sound from previous albums by critics and by the band. In 2017, the band released the singles "No Vacancy", "Truth to Power", "Stranger Things" with Kygo and "Rich Love" with Seeb. Their fifth studio album, Human, was released in 2021. The band has sold approximately over 16 million records worldwide.
On November 1, 2021, OneRepublic released the song "Sunshine". The song is used as the theme song to the 2021 film Clifford the Big Red Dog.
In February 2022, OneRepublic released the song "West Coast". The song is the lead single from OneRepublicโs upcoming sixth studio album. The song is an ode to the American state of California and evokes classic 1960s California sounds, stemming from groups such as The Beach Boys and The Mamas and the Papas, along with inspiration from Gorillaz. It has been both a band favorite and a fan favorite for a long time, and it ultimately became a tone-setter for their sixth studio effort. They first started working on โWest Coastโ during the production process of their 2016 album, Oh My My, but ended up shelving it for later. An earlier version of the song was used for U2โs 2017 hit, โSummer of Love,โ which actually turned the original demo into an anti-war track.
After years of anticipation and re-tooling, the final version of โWest Coastโ was officially made public on February 25, 2022.
On April 1, 2022, OneRepublic released "You Were Loved" as a single with DJ and producer Gryffin. On May 13, 2022, the band released "I Ain't Worried", the second single from the soundtrack for the film Top Gun: Maverick. It will also be featured on their upcoming sixth studio album which is rumored to be released by the end of the summer. On January 31, 2023, Ryan Tedder confirmed in The Great Creators with Guy Raz that he will upload song teasers on social media, and let the public choose the next single.
OneRepublic's varied style of music has been described by Ryan Tedder: "We're no respecter of genre. If it's a good song or a good artist whether rock, pop, indie or hip hop, they've probably influenced us on some level... nothing's new under the sun, we're a sum of a bunch of parts." Specific artists whom OneRepublic has cited as influences include Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the Beatles, U2, M83, and Prince.
OneRepublic has won several music awards and landed many nominations, including for American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, World Music Awards, and Grammy Awards. Separately, lead singer Ryan Tedder has won three Grammy Awards due to his songwriting credits for Adele and Taylor Swift.

OneRepublic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Took you for everything
Looked like a diamond ring
You are so much longer
That made sense
Apathy in disguise
Crept on you like a spy
Hurt you in ways
Back to the start now
I wont let you go this way now
Honesty
Is what you need
It sets you free
Like someone to save you
Let it go
But hurry now
Theres undertow
And I don't want to lose you now
All right
Sit down and spill your heart
Lets start from the very start
'Cause I can see by your eyes
You're wasted
Your energy comes and goes
You taking your time, you know
Nothing can change what happened, and so
Back to the start now
I wont let you go this way now
Honesty
Is what you need
It sets you free
Like someone to save you
Let it go
But hurry now
Theres undertow
And I don't want to lose you now
Now
Now
Oh my
Look at your bright stars fade so
How much can you take?
Honesty
Is what you need
It sets you free
Like someone to save you
Let it go
But hurry now
Theres undertow
And I don't want to lose you now
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
I said to save you
Save you
Save you
Someone to save you
What you need is
Someone to save you
The lyrics to OneRepublic's "Someone to Save You" explore the themes of love, patience, honesty, and the need to be saved. The first verse speaks about the singer being patient and taking someone for everything, which symbolizes a diamond ring. However, the person seems to be longer than that in reality, indicating that they have more value than just a physical object. The verse then talks about apathy creeping in like a spy, which could indicate that the person became distant or unenthusiastic. It also mentions how the apathy hurt the person and affected them in ways that they can't describe. The chorus then follows, where the singer talks about how honesty is what the person needs to set them free and save them. They ask the person to let go of their worries, but they need to hurry because of the undertow. The singer doesn't want to lose this person, indicating that they care deeply.
The second verse talks about the singer encouraging the person to open up to them and spill their heart out. The singer can see that the person is wasted and their energy comes and goes, indicating that they are struggling. They mention that nothing can change what happened, and they want to go back to the start and help the person. The chorus then repeats, followed by the bridge, which talks about how the person's bright stars are fading. The singer asks how much they are willing to take and insists that the person needs someone to save them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Someone to Save You" are about the singer's desire to help and save someone they care deeply about. They understand that the person is struggling, but they believe that honesty and letting go can set them free. They want to go back to the start and fix things, as they don't want to lose the person.

Somedays I'm treading the water

Some nights I drown in the weight of the things that I think I need
Sometimes I feel incomplete, yeah

Say to me, oh you say
Someday when we're older
We'll be shining like we're gold
Yeah, Won't we, won't we

Babe happy, happy
Oh you say someday when we're older

Took a dive and it led to you
So many times that I wish
We could be anywhere but here
So many times that I wish

So clear, oh you say
