Jelly Roll joined the group for an alternate version of “Hurt,” OneRepublic’s lead single from their July project Artificial Paradise. The song and video for the new version of “Hurt” are out now.
OneRepublic teased the collab in a TikTok video with Jelly Roll on Nov. 21, with a caption for the video noting, “We’ve been waiting for this one.” The clip shows OneRepublic lead singer Ryan Tedder sitting in a car, singing “Hurt,” before the camera pans to Jelly Roll in the seat beside Tedder, with Jelly Roll then picking up the song’s next verse.
Artificial Paradise marks OneRepublic’s sixth studio album. They’ve previously released a handful of singles from the project, including “Sunshine,” “Runaway,” David Guetta collab “I Don’t Wanna Wait,” as well as “Nobody,” and “Fire” (featuring Meduza and Leony). To date, OneRepublic has earned four top 10 hits on the all-genre Billboard 100, including 2022’s “I Ain’t Worried,” 2014’s “Counting Stars,” 2011’s “The Good Life,” and their feature on Timbaland’s 2007 hit “Apologize.”
