About OneRepublic
OneRepublic combines Ryan Tedder's singing and songwriting with a band arrangement that includes guitars, keyboards, bass, cello and drums. Its 2007 debut, Dreaming Out Loud, included Apologize. Waking Up followed with All the Right Moves, Secrets and Good Life, while Native introduced Counting Stars. The group's later work also reached film audiences through I Ain't Worried in Top Gun: Maverick, extending a catalog built around vocal melodies and ensemble playing.
