13 Songs You Didn't Know Were Written By Ryan Tedder chords
Start Jamming...
Beyonce, Taylor [F#] Swift, and [B] Demi Lovato.
What do these ladies have in common other than, [D] you know, being the biggest pop [F#] stars
on the planet?
Well, [B] some of their most successful songs were all written by [D] the same person, Ryan [F#] Tedder.
[B] That name might sound familiar because he's the front man for the [D] popular band OneRepublic.
You know that song, It's Too [B] Late to Apologize.
But he also [A] has a pretty impressive resume of writing hit after hit for [G] musics, pop stars,
and in fact, we're betting there are a few [D] hit jams that you didn't know he was responsible [F#] for.
So we're [B] breaking down 13 hit songs that you didn't know were written by Ryan [D] Tedder, starting
with Leona Lewis' [B] smash single Bleeding Love.
Oh gosh, this brings back [D] memories.
Her song [F#] dominated the [B] airwaves and charts when it was released back in 2008 [D] and it launched
the X Factor winner high into the music [B] world's stratosphere.
Though she's yet to produce a single that matched the [A] popularity of this one, the legacy
of this song [G] still lives on thanks in large part to the unforgettable [D] lyrics co-written
by Ryan Tedder and Jesse [F#] McCartney.
[B] Yeah, that Jesse McCartney.
Next, we have not one but two [D] hit songs from Queen B, herself, Halo, [B] and XO.
So Halo is off Beyonce's 2008 [D] album I Am Sasha Fierce and is one of [B] the most recognizable
ballads of all time if we do say so [D] ourselves.
It doesn't matter who is singing it, this is [B] such a beautiful [A#] song.
Oh, she is.
[C#]
[A] [G] Okay, well besides that girl.
Also, believe it or not, [D] Ryan wrote this song in a mere three [F#] hour time [B] frame.
Long story short, Ryan was injured and his wife [D] forbade him from working, but she left
the house for [B] just a few hours so he decided to whip up a song for Beyonce.
[D] Just your typical day at the office.
Ryan spoke [B] to Billboard about penning this tune and said,
[D] [C#] started playing it and [B] within three hours we had Halo.
Not too shabby.
As for [A] her recent song XO, Ryan must really be good at keeping [G] secrets in addition to
his songwriting skills because this was the [D] first single off Beyonce's surprise self-titled
[B] album that she dropped back in December 2013.
Ryan's [D] teamwork with Beyonce actually transitions quite [B] nicely to our next song and that would
be Kelly Clarkson's Already [D] Gone.
This song was released back in [F#] 2009 and [B] some said it sounded just a little too similar
to Beyonce's [A] Halo.
I want you to [E] know that it doesn't [F#m] matter.
[A] In all honesty, the songs are pretty [G] familiar sounding, but in Ryan's defense, if it ain't
broken, don't [D] fix it, right?
Sticking with a theme of [F#] strong female [B] vocalists, Ryan penned two songs for Adele's Heartbreak album, [D] 21.
Ryan was the [F#m] brainpower behind two of the album's [B] most popular songs, Rumor Has It and Turning [D] Tables.
Similar to his work with Beyonce, [F#] the process of [B] making these songs, especially Rumor Has
It, happened super fast.
[D] As he revealed in an interview, this was written on the first [B] day, sang on the second and she
knocked it out in one pass.
[A] Moving along, we bet you didn't know Ryan was responsible for one of [G] Demi Lovato's best
songs to date, Neon Lights.
[D] This song was a single off her Demi [F#] album in 2013.
[B] And this song is so killer, she even named her tour after [D] the tune.
Ryan spoke about working [B] with Ms.
Lovato and as expected, he only had the nicest things to [D] say.
She, in pop music, has one of [F#] the biggest ranges, [B] possibly the highest full voice singer
I've ever worked with.
[D] She can belt full voice like three octaves above middle C.
It's [B] just crazy.
High praise.
Another song you can [A] thank Ryan Tedder for is Ellie Goulding's infectious song, [G] Burn.
[A#m] And we gonna let it burn, burn, [F#] burn, burn.
We [Fm] gonna let it burn, [G#] burn, burn, burn.
[B] That song is so gosh darn catchy, how can you not like [D] it?
It's easily Ellie's [F#m] biggest song so [B] far, but it actually took a while to get it off the ground.
Ryan revealed in [D] an interview that he and his fellow OneRepublic members [B] wrote it on
their tour bus and Ellie recorded it shortly after.
[D] However, it took over a year for the song to go [B] anywhere.
It was worth the wait.
Now, for some fellas, we [A] have some popular Maroon 5 tunes landing the next spots [G] on our list.
First, they collabed on their huge single [D] Love Somebody and then teamed up again for
[F#] one of their latest [B] singles, Maps.
Both songs are total hits and we bet [D] this isn't the last we'll see of this [F#m] team up.
[B] Next on our list is Jennifer Lopez.
Another superstar has had the [D] pleasure of working with Ryan Tedder.
He's [B] responsible for her song, Doin' Well.
This song dropped in [D] 2007 during that awkward time when she had sort of peaked [B] but was before
her American Idol reinvention and this song [A] is easily one of her most recognizable songs.
So props to [G] Ryan for his incredible work and props to JLo too.
[D] Getting down to the wire here, we have Taylor Swift's [F#] Welcome to New York.
[B] Taylor is obviously known for writing her own music, but even [D] the best get a little
help every once [F#] in a while.
[B] This Poppy song set the tune for her 1989 album, Quite [D] Literally, since it's the first
track on [F#m] the album.
[B] And again, Ryan revealed that working with Taylor was a quick [D] process, stating that she's
probably the fastest [B] songwriter he's ever worked with.
These two are total pros, [A] so that makes sense.
Capping off our list is a song [G] by the one and only, Miss Ariana Grande.
Ryan worked with Ari [D] on her song, Why Try, [F#] which was off her [B] sophomore album, My Everything.
[G#]
[G] [D#]
[B] [D] AG praised Ryan in a recent interview, [B] saying,
We cut two songs together already and he's amazing.
I love [D] working with him because he understands what it's like [F#m] as a vocalist to [B] want the song that day.
He'll literally let me take two takes of something and then [A] he'll have it done by the time I
get out of the booth.
Woah.
[G] So how many of these 13 songs did you know was [D] written or co-written by Ryan?
[F#] And which one's your fave?
[B] You know, hit the comments to get talk and then you can click there [D] to see our countdown
of songs that you didn't know were [F#] written by [B] Sia.
That's good too.
And don't forget to subscribe to [D] Clevver Music while you're at it.
I'm your host, [B] Misty Kingma.
Have an amazing day.
You deserve [D] it.
