OneRepublic released their third studio album in North America on March 26, 2013. It was released in Ireland and Germany on March 22, 2013. Two singles have already been released from the album: ‘Feel Again’ and ‘If I Lose Myself’. Both songs charted on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Adult Pop Songs charts.  Originally, the album was going to be released in the fall of 2012 but the band decided they were not going to rush it. Their exact quote was that the album ‘has to literally be the best thing we’ve ever done.’ From the reviews the album has received, it seems that they made the right decision in not rushing it.

OneRepublic was formed in 2002 by Zach Filkens and Ryan Tedder. Current band members include Filkens, Tedder, Drew Brown, Eddie Fisher, and Brent Kutzle.  Their song ‘Apologize’ which was released from their first album, Dreaming Out Loud, received the largest amount of airplay in history in 2007. It played 10,331 times in one week. The first album also earned the band a Grammy Award nomination. In 2010, the band won Band of the Year (International) at the Eska Music Awards (Poland). They have also been honored with nominations from the Teen Choice Awards, winning Choice Music: Rock Track for ‘Stop and Stare’.
