“No Vacancy” is available for streaming and digital download via all participating digital retailers.“No Vacancy” was written by Ryan Tedder, Mikkel Eriksen and Tor Hermansen and was produced by Stargate and Tedder. Spanish language lyrics were written by Sebastián Yatra, Mauricio Rengifo and Andrés Torres.
Comments Tedder, “This particular version of No Vacancy with Sebastián Yatra came together pretty quickly. We were so excited he loved the song and was as interested in collaborating as we hoped. Sebastián was so great to work with. A crazy talented Colombian with a big future ahead. Hope everyone loves this Latin version as much as we do.”
Yatra adds, “I grew up listening to OneRepublic and following Ryan Tedder’s career as a producer and songwriter. One of my biggest dreams was to someday work with him, but I looked at it as something I could maybe accomplish ten years from now if all went well. I still can’t believe this is actually happening. It’s a dream come true.”
OneRepublic will be opening for U2 on select dates of The Joshua Tree tour in June, followed by their North American summer run headlining the 2017 Honda Civic Tour. Included are eight Canadian dates, listed below, with full tour details at OneRepublic.com.
