Pretty soon the new contract was signed and OneRepublic began working again. Only two months before the release of the debut album Columbia Records dropped OneRepublic, however the musicians did not give the way to despair: instead they gained the popularity at MySpace, and the band was noticed by Timbaland's Mosley Music Group representatives.

The name was changed into the well-known nowadays OneRepublic in order to avoid mixing up with other bands. Also they were joined by the drummer Eddie Fisher, the bassist and cellist Brent Kutzle and the solo guitarist Drew Brown. Also they finally settled the line-up: Ryan became the vocalist, Zach was the guitarist and he performed the back vocals as well. That decision turned out to be very successful – within a year the musicians signed the contract with Columbia Records.

In 2002 Ryan and Zach formed a new group Republic, and Tedder, by that moment being the respected talented producer, persuaded Filkins (at that time he lived in Colorado) to move to Los Angeles. The group was named This Beautiful Mess and the musicians began performing, however its members entered the different universities and the band had to be disbanded. As the result, the young men decided to organize a band and asked their friends to join them. They talked about the music and realized that they had much in common. The story of the band started in the middle of nineties when Ryan and Zach met.

Later the musicians stated that they wanted to be free from the styles boarders and also they noted that their creativity had been influenced by different performers’ songs, no matter what style that was.
