OneRepublic是美国的一个流行摇滚乐队，成立于科罗拉多州。自2006年夏天以来，他们活跃与网络，并成为MYSPACE最受欢迎的艺人之一。作曲／制作人Ryan Tedder 和他的高中朋友Zach Filkins 在科罗拉多州斯布林市创建了乐队。然后乐队搬迁到洛杉矶。在Columbia Records短暂的工作之后，他们和Interscope Records/Mosley Music Group 签约了，并且完成了和乐队同名的首张专辑。乐队的核心Ryan Tedder同样也是创作pop, rock,rnb的作曲／制作人。他们的歌曲"Apologize"的混音版本被收入Timbaland2007年发行的专辑TimbalandPresents: Shock Value中。这首歌曲的原始版本将会作为即将到来的专辑的单曲发行。
Apologize I'm holding on your rope, Got me ten feet off the ground I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound You tell me that you need me Then you go and cut me down, but wait You tell me that you're sorry Didn't think I'd turn around, and say... It's too late to apologize, it's too late I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late I'd take another chance, take a fall Take a shot for you And I need you like a heart needs a beat But it's nothin new I loved you with a fire red- Now it's turning blue, and you say... "Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you But I'm afraid... It's too late to apologize, it's too late I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late It's too late to apologize, it's too late I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late It's too late to apologize, yeah I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
