Grammy-nominated pop-rock hitmakers OneRepublic are starting a new chapter with the release of their latest single, “Beautiful Colors (from Kaiju No. 8),” out now. The song marks the band’s first release under their new global recordings partnership with BMG and serves as the ending theme for season two of the wildly popular Japanese anime Kaiju No. 8.
“Beautiful Colors” continues OneRepublic’s creative streak with the franchise, following “Nobody (from Kaiju No. 8)” and “Invincible (from Kaiju No. 8).” The new single blends soaring melodies, cinematic production, and Ryan Tedder’s signature anthemic vocals, perfectly complementing the emotional world of the anime while standing strong as a pop-rock powerhouse on its own.
The release also marks a new era for OneRepublic, who recently signed their first new label deal since their 2007 debut. “We’re excited to join the BMG family to keep releasing music that our fans will love,” says frontman Ryan Tedder. “Jon and Dan have already been such incredible partners throughout this whole process and we’re looking forward to their continued support. We can’t wait for our fans to hear our new single ‘Beautiful Colors’ inspired by the Japanese anime series Kaiju No. 8.”
With over 18 billion Spotify streams and a catalog that includes global hits like “Apologize,” “Counting Stars,” and “I Ain’t Worried,” OneRepublic remain one of the defining pop-rock acts of the modern era. Their latest studio album Artificial Paradise (2024) continued that legacy with massive success, including the quadruple platinum single “I Ain’t Worried” from Top Gun: Maverick.
Now, with “Beautiful Colors (from Kaiju No. 8)” out across all platforms, OneRepublic are blending East and West, anime and arena pop, in a way that only they can — cinematic, heartfelt, and undeniably universal.
