Of the new single, Ryan Tedder said, "'Rescue Me' was written very quickly, 10 minutes or less almost a stream of consciousness. It was me telling Brent, our bass player and cellist, 'I wanna write a song with a concept I had started a few years ago (called "
Rescue Me")'. He started playing this lonely sounding guitar riff and the first thing out of my mouth was the chorus as it is now. The concept: In every friendship there's a give and take, but sometimes you have to wonder if the love you give is the love you'll get."
