"Need Your Love" is a song by American pop rock band OneRepublic, released on April 3, 2026, as a single from their upcoming seventh studio album. It was written by Ryan Tedder, David Kushner and James Essien and produced by Tedder. The song highlights the importance of valuing love over material wealth.[1]
In an interview with Billboard Philippines, Ryan Tedder stated that OneRepublic began working on the song for over a year before it was released. He wanted to compose a song that he not only considered good but also had an element of surprise or "magic". As he revisited demos, he felt that "Need Your Love" stood out from the others and developed it while traveling, aiming to make the lyrics easily understandable. He attributed his inspiration to his transition to a new record label (BMG Rights Management) after 18 years.[2] OneRepublic also teased the song during concerts in 2025.[1]
Critical reception
Ashanti Meadows of Melodic commented the song "puts a modern twist on nostalgic pop music, making it a track that will not only have the audience reminiscing on past loving memories, but also make them excited for the love they currently share with someone or the love they'll experience in the future."[3]
