OneRepublic wordt in 2002 opgericht door Zach Filkins en Ryan Tedder. Het tweetal krijgt versterking van Eddie Fisher, Drew Brown en Brent Kutzle en deelt in de beginjaren hun muziek via internet.

Producer Timbaland krijgt lucht van de kwaliteiten van de groep en helpt ze met hun debuutsingle, Apologize. De single bereikt ook in ons land, voor vier weken, de eerste plaats van de Top 40. In de jaren daarna bereikt de groep verscheidene malen de Top 40, maar een top-10-hit zit er niet meer in.

In 2013 verschijnt het derde album van de groep, Native, waarvan op dat moment Feel Again al in de tipparade had gestaan. Counting Stars, de derde single van het album, staat in de zomer van 2013 vier weken in de tipparade. In december wordt de single alsnog de zevende hitnotering in de Top 40 en weet uit te groeien tot de grootste hit van de groep. In het voorjaar van 2014 verschijnt Love Runs Out, een nieuwe track die later wordt toegevoegd aan de digitale release van het album Native. Met de track scoort OneRepublic voor de vierde keer de Alarmschijf.

Na afwezigheid van ruim 2 jaar is OneRepublic in 2016 terug met de Top 40-hit Wherever I Go, dat wordt opgevolgd door Kids. Die nummers zijn terug te vinden op het album Oh My My. Voordat in het najaar van 2020 het vijfde album Human verschijnt werkt de band samen met Kygo op de track Lose Somebody.

Songtekst

Woke up in London yesterday,
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here,
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I dont know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

To my friends is New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so

Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work out now
We are god of stories but please tell me,
What there is to complain about
When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

Hopelessly, I feel like there might be
Something that I'll miss
Hopelessly, I feel like the window
Closes o so quick
Hopelessly, I'm taking a mental
Picture of you now
Cause hopelessly, the hope is we have
So much to feel good about

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

To my friends is New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so

Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work out now
We are god of stories but please tell me,
What there is to complain about.
