One Republic has returned with their new single “Rescue Me,” which was released on Friday. “Rescue Me” was written and produced by Ryan Tedder and Brent Kutzle, and co-produced by Tyler Spry. The single was released alongside a music video, filmed in Silverton, Oregon and featuring Cody Bingham of Dancing with the Stars: Juniors. “’Rescue Me’ was written very quickly, 10 minutes or less almost a stream of consciousness,” Tedder said in a press release. “It was me telling Brent, our bass player and cellist, ‘I wanna write a song with a concept I had started a few years ago (called “Rescue Me”)’. He started playing this lonely sounding guitar riff and the first thing out of my mouth was the chorus as it is now. The concept: In every friendship there’s a give and take, but sometimes you have to wonder if the love you give is the love you’ll get.”
