Hitesh Nemade That's not what it means. It's because he wrote so many songs for other people in addition to the amount of hits he's had himself.

Love the way Ryan pronounces "vacancy"
Nor Taib Arash Yusoff I never knew the word "vacancy" can be so beautiful xD
He said he knows he's pronouncing it weirdly but it was the only way he could get it to rhyme with "damn empty", how cute lol.
I know, I read his Facebook post 😃
I'm the complete opposite, I want to throw the phone to the wall when I hear the chorus. I hate it.
Juan Francisco Ribera Laszkowski so how is your phone now...if it still safe i think you did enjoy the song 😁
I'm a simple person, i see one republic i click

Richard Danville i
This song brings back so much memories
Love how these guys are following their heart and doing what they want instead of what the media wants. You guys are REAL. Thank you. Great song.
Elite Sombrero Agree. Now if only everyone else had the same mindset for a bunch of other bands that have released music this year LOL.
nowdays mostly singer or band are PUBLIC AND MEDIA SERVER..they're play save.Even some of them use legend vibe to gain the public attention..
riaa. yeah, LP, FOB, Maroon 5 come to mind from the hate comments in their new songs' videos
YES! Lol, those 3 are exactly the same bands I had in mind as well!
These kind of songs make me feel like dancing round the room
Abia Heeba There's nothing stopping you😉
One Republic will always be my favourite band. Always.
Their music makes me want to drive down a long winding road, with the windows down and the breeze hitting me, living life to the fullest
I feel OneRepublic coming back to the hits!
:)
This song is so addictive ! 😍
Another beautiful song from the best band in the world... You are not just a band, you're a team, a team that brings us fans LOVE, GOD and HOPE! You guys are one of the reasons that I survived the darkest times and I'm positive you'll get through them as well. Thank you for never stop making music and for giving us a piece of yourselves in every song. Love you guys
No one can meet the class of One Republic, Coldplay, Imagine Dragons and Linkin Park
Yup
Always
Obv
L
glad you included linkin park :)
This song is sooooo awesome! :) A good song is a good song and that's what OneRebublic do! write good songs! I might cover this, should I? 😊
Yes!
Anyone else just really glad that Ryan's alright? 😍😍😍
BlueBeachRanger You should check out their Facebook page. Ryan wrote a long post about struggling with anxiety and pushing himself too hard with music. OneRepublic are going to release songs when they want to rather than focusing on albums.
check the letter he wrote on facebook. heart touhing asf.
yea thank god he's feeling good right now
Sofia Grace yes, i just want him to be happy and healthy :)

1st time listening: "🤔🤔🤔 Pretty catchy I guess.
2nd time listening: Ya know this is good.
3rd time:👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼💸💸💸💸 This song is legendary!
me too!
ARK flicks by the third time you won't be able to stop listening
I didn't like it when I first heard it. Then few weeks later heard it again at work and fell in love. ♥
That's the way it is with some of their songs. In fact, I thought most of Oh My My was that way. Didn't really care for it much on first playing, but it kept growing on me. I think many of us were used to the type of songs they had on Native and weren't ready for the different styles found on Oh My My and this song, but Ryan just plain knows how to write catchy hit songs that eventually win you over.
ARK flicks totally agree
Who is listening in 2020/quarantine
Meee
Me🥰
You should me dancing all alone to it
From Myanmar
MEE
This will be a hit! I hope they will release another single in the coming weeks. Im still frustrated why Burning Bridges had never been their single.
ZaDizt Lerman ikr...it was so good...one of my favourite songs by them...!
Cant get enough of OneRepublic! Ryan Tedder is a musical genius!!!
Who else thinks that this song is awesome.....😎
Harsh Prajapati Me
Harsh Prajapati me!!!
osho theresa me too
One Republic is so underated. They deserve more spotlight xxx
Goodbye Shape of You, Attention, There's nothing holdin' me back... Welcome No Vancancy 😂😍

Mario3108 Haha. Yeah. Attention and There's Nothing Holding Me Back is not bad though but this song rules
Mario3108 look u can say goodbue to shape of u or attention but get the the fuck out from my holding me back!!
Also check Kygo, Eliie collab 😍
Mario3108 Still bro! Shape Of You is the best!!!!

I LOVE this lyric video!! This song is gonna be such a hit this summer, thank you so much OneRepublic for everything you do :)
Chloe W Going to be MY summer hit

Denibeus I have God and OneRepublic. My life is complete.😄
Notification squad! Did you also click like before even listening to this song ?

Best music
Best singer
Best lyrics
Best remix

One thing that stays unique for one republic is that slick and soft guitar riff at the end of every song. Makes it much more special.
First time listening to this song: ok. mhm. this is pretty good.
Second time listening: HUNNY YASSS THIS IS EVERYTHING LAWD BLESS MY EARS
Gaon Kim yes that's 100 percent true
lmaooo same!
Gaon Kim same 😂😂
I will always love Ryan Tedder's vocals :)
One word: Briliant!!!!
that's the reason why OneRepublic is my favorite band. Thay are like a Chameleon in the music. They can create a music at the right time and right moment.
I grew up listening to this song till to date still remains my favorite 😍😍
Anyone in 2024 august, September, October November December..... ❤
I'm so feeling this, cant wait for summer!
jhope Goldenhyung me to!!!!

Cannot wait for One Republic to release video for this song!!!

Es 2021 y no puedo creer que ya tiene 3 añossssss queeeee
I've always loved oneRepublic. After reading Ryan's open letter to his fans, I love them and Ryan even more. They put themselves through allot for us. Thank you.
gracie H gracie H I know, people are complaining about them "changing" and crap, but they need to read the letter Ryan wrote and also accept that they are trying new songs. Personally I don't see how it sounds like ed sheerans shape of you anyway tbh 😂
Never a bad song! Thanks for the great music 1R!
This masterpiece deserves an official video. My jam 'till I die.
"I used to be the type to never take a chance, oh
Had so many walls, you'd think I was a castle"
That hit me hard
I CANT STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG....ITS ON REPEAT MODE ON MY PHONE...LISTENING SINCE LAST 3 HOURS STRAIGHT :d

This song is just in time for summer. The vibes I'm getting from this song is just so amazing. Love this song so much.
Ryan's open letter to the fans/ the internet:
Hi. So we've been quiet for a few months, haven't been promoting our most recent album and staying silent on most everything. Figured some of you might wanna know why. We've been a band now for 10 years as of January, and in that time we have gone nonstop... album, tour, album, tour etc... on Native we toured 2 1/2 years... 50+ countries and 225 dates. We went straight from that into finishing 'Oh My My', our longest (and most difficult to finish), and straight from that into promo for 'Wherever I Go' in April 2016. About 3-4 weeks into the promo for the 2nd single 'Kids' I (Ryan) hit a physical, emotional, psychological wall. I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, not sleeping, on meds, not happy, anxiety on a crippling level and it was triggered from sheer exhaustion. I looked at a calendar, realized I had been gone 200 days of 2016 and still had 3 more weeks of being gone.. From my family, my wife, my kids, my friends, basically my life. I also realized that had been the last 10 years. At that moment I wanted to quit, and almost did. I called my manager and said "pull the plug"... cancel tv's cancel promo, cancel the single, cancel the album. At the time we had a tour planned for the US in February, straight into Europe and then the rest of the world. We were gonna be gone again, for ages. The thought of it literally sent me into a sweat and made me feel like I was going to have a heart attack. Crippling anxiety. It also made me stop writing songs. I didn't have the motivation or joy necessary to. That's over now.
'Oh My My' is my favorite album, it's bonkers and eclectic and we planned on releasing/promoting lots of songs we wanted to get to, but that album is also what made me collapse... in addition to travel we had an inhuman amount of stress surrounding basic things like artwork and videos. Everywhere we turned something got messed up and had to be redone, at the cost of our time and lives and families. It was never ending. So, for the first time ever and hopefully the last, I asked our label (who is amazing) to stop. Stop the album, stop the promo, don't release another song. Hit pause. And they did.
So now we are here. What does that mean for our band? We've taken 4 months off, I had to dive headfirst into writing for anything but 1R.. so I've been busy with a lot of other artists, having the most fun I've had in ages, but in those sessions occasionally a 1R idea pops out. Fortunately we still love what we do and love you guys immensely, and love performing live. LOOOOVE. So we are going to. But we are changing the entire scope of how we release music and approach touring.
I had the idea even before our last album of releasing "songs"... when we want, as often as we want, however we want. Not albums, songs. It's always frustrated me that by the time u get to a 3rd, 4th or 5th single off an album that song may have been produced 2-3 years ago....and sounds dated. What if 3 months into an album you write a song that feels relevant NOW?? Albums aren't built to be flexible or get out of their own way. So here's what we're gonna do. Starting tomorrow we will be dropping new music as often as humanly possible... monthly, weekly sometimes, and it will be VARIED and with collaborations and may feel bonkers at first. Some will be remixes others will be just me on piano or guitar. Some will sound super trendy and new, some will sound classic and old school or very "OneRepublic". News flash: I am ADD AF and always have been. It is IMPOSSIBLE for me to stick to one lane or one style or sound, I am incapable of it and so are the rest of the guys. That's part of my anxiety, "what this album supposed to sound like?!!" No more. We like too many styles of music to "sound like OneRepublic" 24/7. Newsflash 2: l have honestly never known what our sound is, not once. I leave that up to your interpretation of it. All I'm ever chasing is goosebumps or emotion or fun. Love, God, Hope. What else is there? In whatever shade or color that is-- Currently I'm chasing it. I'm a songs guy, the sound is always evolving.
So.... some of these songs you're absolutely gonna love... some you might totally hate, some will be a breath of fresh air and some you'll skip. And guess what? It doesn't matter. that's the point. All the songs will be me singing and us playing. So it's Us. We won't be chasing trends but we will react to what's around us, we won't be trying to re-write songs from our past but some will unavoidably sound nostalgic. SONGS.
So whats 'No Vacancy' and where did it come from? I had a series of sessions with my friends Tor and Mikkel (Stargate) in early January. The 2nd song we wrote was No Vacancy. The session didn't start as a song for OneRepublic, we were trying to write a Gotye style song for Selena actually, but when I sang the chorus it just felt right. The lyric idea started with me thinking about my kids and then I realized it was kinda just relatable to anyone. It had a Police vibe I loved... Tor sped it up and added the plucky guitar chords. A month later we ended up doing a concert in the Caribbean and that's where I finished the lyrics and vocals and instrumental bits. As I said I react to what's around me, thus the island vibe and palm trees etc....(and yes I realize I'm pronouncing "Vacancy" an odd way but how the hell else can it rhyme with "so damn empty!!??"). It's not a first single, it's a song for April. It's fun, it's summer, it's a song some will love and some wont- I honestly don't care. WE like it :). My goal for now is I want people to bliss out. We are in some dark times, we wanna make some lifted music that helps people feel happy. Feel connected, feel human, and love each other as much as possible. BLISS. OUT.
'No Vacancy' likely won't sound like the next song we drop... or it may. We have more new music scheduled 2 weeks from tomorrow, so here's the deal:
To all our fans: we hope you enjoy our new approach to releasing music, you will be hearing it as we make it. There are no "first singles", there are no "album cycles", there's us getting inspired, writing a tune, and getting it to you fast as we can. Because of Streaming services we can finally do what I've wanted to do for years. Some songs you will love, some you may loathe, but guess what?? Wait another couple weeks and you'll have something new that may just be your favorite thing ever. We will tour when it makes sense, put out artwork when it's good, and we are making merch WE wanna wear... for you. We will go to radio with songs when it feels like we should, not before. And we will tour... but not so much we end up hating life.
Love you, hope you enjoy No Vacancy, it's simply one shade of a sound that we like this month, and tomorrow, I'm gonna write something totally different.
XO

Rebeca Dubon
This is why I freaking love this band. Their music is the best because of what he just said in that entire thing.
actually smiled reading that i love this band
Rebeca Dubon Broke into a grin reading this. Wow Tedder... You are one with words: Both in lyrics, and in writing.
lol you even took time to write/type this xD
MirageGamer-xPro copy and paste
First time listening to the song and already got the lyrics stuck in my head
ever since i met Jesus no vacancyyy
The Chorus is fucking awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥
lets hurt tonight - i hit the lights and you lock the door
no vacancy - i used to leave the door unlocked and leave the lights on
Stoppable I NEVER SAW THAT! Man you are good!
omg😂😂😂
he used to leave the door unlocked and leave the lights on but sence he meets her he hits the lights and she locks the door
Stoppable zh u
Stoppable zone
this is not Ed Sheeran + Chainsmokers, this is OneRepublic and this is perfect
oh yes *---*
YAS! Pls don't compare them to Ed Sheeran, no offense but they are perf and he has his own style
Are you implying that Ed Sheeran doesn't have his own style? Because he does. If you listen to his music that is not put on the radios you'd see.
Ed Sheeran and Chainsmokers are also great :3 🤣
Vaibhav Tiwari juju

Love wow he pronounces "Vacancy"
Wow
Why this song is not more watched on TH-cam.
This song is better than despacito :(
Rogelio Salvador Perez Flores sooooo damn true
Rogelio Salvador Perez Flores right now almost everything is better than despacito... this song is so overplayed.
Tiziano ferro 😘😘
despacito isnt even that good
Rogelio Salvador Perez Flores despacito is. Rape song that's why people love it
No one has a single idea how much good memories this song brings to me , I still tear up every time hearing it missing the good days😭😭😭😭😭
feels like every artist ever decided to release their new tracks all on 27th April
Me ha encantado el mensaje que has dejado para los fans, esta canción ya está en mi lista de favoritas, son todo talento, muchas felicidades por seguir siendo un grupo exitosamente exelente. 👌👌💕

We won't be chasing trends but we will react to what's around us, we won't be trying to re-write songs from our past but some will unavoidably sound nostalgic. SONGS.
So whats 'No Vacancy' and where did it come from? I had a series of sessions with my friends Tor and Mikkel (Stargate) in early January. The 2nd song we wrote was No Vacancy. The session didn't start as a song for OneRepublic, we were trying to write a Gotye style song for Selena actually, but when I sang the chorus it just felt right. The lyric idea started with me thinking about my kids and then I realized it was kinda just relatable to anyone. It had a Police vibe I loved... Tor sped it up and added the plucky guitar chords. A month later we ended up doing a concert in the Caribbean and that's where I finished the lyrics and vocals and instrumental bits. As I said I react to what's around me, thus the island vibe and palm trees etc....(and yes I realize I'm pronouncing "Vacancy" an odd way but how the hell else can it rhyme with "so damn empty!!??"). It's not a first single, it's a song for April. It's fun, it's summer, it's a song some will love and some wont- I honestly don't care. WE like it :). My goal for now is I want people to bliss out. We are in some dark times, we wanna make some lifted music that helps people feel happy. Feel connected, feel human, and love each other as much as possible. BLISS. OUT.
'No Vacancy' likely won't sound like the next song we drop... or it may. We have more new music scheduled 2 weeks from tomorrow, so here's the deal:
To all our fans: we hope you enjoy our new approach to releasing music, you will be hearing it as we make it. There are no "first singles", there are no "album cycles", there's us getting inspired, writing a tune, and getting it to you fast as we can. Because of Streaming services we can finally do what I've wanted to do for years. Some songs you will love, some you may loathe, but guess what?? Wait another couple weeks and you'll have something new that may just be your favorite thing ever. We will tour when it makes sense, put out artwork when it's good, and we are making merch WE wanna wear... for you. We will go to radio with songs when it feels like we should, not before. And we will tour... but not so much we end up hating life.
Love you, hope you enjoy No Vacancy, it's simply one shade of a sound that we like this month, and tomorrow, I'm gonna write something totally different.
