OneRepublic Unveils New Single ‘Beautiful Colors’ for Kaiju No. 8

OneRepublic, the GRAMMY® nominated pop-rock band, has launched their latest single, “Beautiful Colors,” which serves as the ending theme song for the second season of the popular anime series Kaiju No. 8. Released on April 5, 2024, this new track is the third musical contribution to the franchise, following the earlier successes of “Invincible” and “Nobody,” both of which have collectively garnered over 500 million streams.
The band, known for their dynamic sound and engaging performances, comprises singer/songwriter and lead vocalist Ryan Tedder, guitarists Zach Filkins and Drew Brown, keyboardist Brian Willett, bassist and cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher. Since their debut, OneRepublic has achieved significant commercial success, accumulating over 5 billion streams on Spotify alone.
OneRepublic first made waves with their debut album, DREAMING OUT LOUD, released in 2007, which featured the global hit “Apologize.” This single broke multiple records, leading to a GRAMMY® nomination. Their sophomore album, WAKING UP, released in 2009, solidified their place in the music industry with hits like “All the Right Moves” and “Good Life.” The band’s third album, NATIVE, released in 2013, included the chart-topping single “Counting Stars,” which has sold over 41 million copies.
The group’s discography continued to expand with the release of OH MY MY in 2016 and HUMAN in 2021. Their recent hit “I Ain’t Worried,” featured in the blockbuster film Top Gun: Maverick, has amassed over 3 billion streams. In April 2024, they also launched “I Don’t Wanna Wait,” a collaboration with David Guetta, which has quickly gained popularity worldwide.
OneRepublic’s Continued Success and Upcoming Tour
In addition to their contributions to Kaiju No. 8, OneRepublic has been busy with other projects. They released “Chasing Paradise” with Kygo, and collaborated with Ikky and Karan Aujla for their track “Tell Me.” Furthermore, the band partnered with The Supermen Lovers to reimagine their classic hit “Starlight” for its 25th anniversary.
Looking ahead, OneRepublic is set to embark on a tour across the UK and Europe starting in September 2024, which will continue through November. Following this leg, the band plans to perform in Australia and New Zealand in February 2026, promising fans an exciting lineup of new music and beloved hits.
As OneRepublic continues to evolve and expand their artistic repertoire, their latest single, “Beautiful Colors,” adds yet another vibrant layer to their impressive catalog. Fans can look forward to experiencing their unique blend of pop-rock in both their upcoming singles and live performances.
