"Need Your Love" is an upbeat and infectious paean to the simplicity of needing love in an ever more complicated world. Combined with songwriter/frontman Ryan Tedder's exclusive audio on the band's career and future, our CHR and Hot AC listeners will have a lot of fun with this YMP campaign."

Jon Loba, BMG President North & South America, commented: "Some songs take several listens to burn in, while others only take ONE listen. Based on reaction from everyone we play this for, not to mention arenas and stadiums around the world when Ryan and the guys play it live, OneRepublic has delivered on a ONE LISTEN SMASH with "Need Your Love." Thanks to our friends and partners at Cumulus for choosing this as their next song for Your Music Plus! Looking forward to breaking this together!"
