Matrix #: B0026109-01

Condition: NM (LM)

Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle Ryan Tedder made this during a period when he was balancing OneRepublic with heavy outside songwriting demand, which created real burnout pressure around the band’s identity.
2. Media Narrative Native helped solidify OneRepublic as more than a mid-2000s holdover, especially once “Counting Stars” became one of the era’s biggest crossover singles.
3. Studio Lore The album went through a long writing and release process, and that polished, widescreen feel reflects how carefully Tedder builds songs for both radio impact and emotional lift.
