OneRepublic is an American pop/rock band formed in Colorado. The group consists of Ryan Tedder as their lead vocalist, guitarist and pianist. Zach Filkins in guitar and vocals, Eddie Fisher in drums, Brent Kutzle in bass, cello and vocal, and Drew Brown in guitar. They drew attention since the release of the hit single, Apologize, which remix is featured on Timbaland’s Timbalands Presents: Shock Value. Apologize is the most legally downloaded song in US digital history with sales of over 4.3 million digital downloads in the US alone. Their debut album was released in the United States on November 20, 2007, with international release dates staggered throughout early 2008.

As of November 1, 2008, Dreaming Out Loud had sold 805,691 copies in the US, with the bands total album sales reaching over 1.5 million worldwide. The band's second single, "Stop and Stare," has also crossed the two million mark in terms of worldwide single sales. Their third single, "Say (All I Need)," has been released in the UK and the US. In September, 2008 the band released their fourth single, "Mercy".

OneRepublic's varied style has made it difficult for the public to place the band in one particular genre of music. Although Ryan describes many of the songs on their album as, 'safe, radio-friendly pop-rock songs with big choruses', they present themselves in the genre of Alternative Rock.

Last September 24, 2008, the band stated during a concert at the London Forum in England, they were working on new material for a new album to be released in the summer of 2009. The band played one of the newly recorded songs titled, "All The Right Moves” which was also stated on 28th September at the Carling Academy in Newcastle.
