The first single from OneRepublic's Dreaming Out Loud. The song gained popularity as a remix and follow up single on Timbaland's Shock Value album. The remix features additional instrumentation and ad-libs from Timbaland. "Apologize" ended up becoming a worldwide smash and peaked at #2 on the Hot 100. I still can't get enough of this song (the remix of course). It's definitely one of my faves from '07 and '08.

I prefer the original to the remix, but either way it's a fantastic song. I've always loved this song from the first time I heard it.

The remix is splendid, something raw and melodic mixed with something electronic...love it

After hearing the original recently, I'm gonna have to go with the remix.

I've always loved the original and still do. Can't place the remix off the top of my head though.

This was and still is absolutely stunning.
I remember the first time I head this was when I listened to Shock Value so it took me by surprise (I had no idea of the original or OneRepublic at all), I wore it out. This was about 5-6 months before it became a single as well. It's incredible just how much Ryan Tedder has emerged as one of the biggest songwriters in the world since this.

I like the original version more than the remix. The remix was of course what was played almost everywhere. Timbaland's sounds in the background were weird and unsettling.

Amazing song - it just makes you feel so sad when you listen to it. Timbaland did a great job with the production of this song, and Ryan Tedder was the perfect vocalist for this song. The last minute of the song gets me every time and the last line "I'm holding on your rope, got me 10 feet off the ground".

The last minute of the song gets me every time and the last line "I'm holding on your rope, got me 10 feet off the ground". I just came in here to post this very sentiment! It's a great last line and ends the song on the perfect note. The remix is superior to the original with its intricate production and was, rightly, the smash. |

At the time contemporary AND Timbaland's prod was still new & exciting, so it makes sense that a combination of those 2 things would go on to be such a massive hit. But looking back... man this song is just BORING
