Timbaland decided to remix the track and release it as the fourth single from his album Shock Value. Suddenly, Apologize went from a random track on a random alternative rock band's album to an international, chart-topping hit single. Timbaland does not actually sing in the re-mixed version of the song, rather he samples vocals similar to those on Nelly Furtado's single Say It Right.
The vocalist and writer of the song is Ryan Tedder, also the lead singer of the OneRepublic. According to the band's MySpace site, the song "explores the personal pain of multiple relationships gone away and the necessity of moving on".
Apologize has topped music charts around the world, including the Billboard Hot 100 and charts from countries such as Canada, Sweden, Turkey and Poland. The song is also on its way to being a top 10 on the US Rhythmic Radio chart, which would make OneRepublic one of the first rock bands in history to have a Rhythmic top 10 hit.
The music video has also become incredibly popular. Although its premise is simple, the music video perfectly captures the emotion and simplicity of the song. It has been played over 10 million times on YouTube and is also receiving massive airplay on MTV in the US and MuchMusic in Canada.
The success of the single Apologize has also made this ringtone the most popular ringtone in America. Timbaland has had many hit singles before, but he has really found something special in OneRepublic. We will be eagerly anticipating their next release, but until then, we'll continue to enjoy Apologize in all its glory.
