One Republic于2003年在美国科罗拉多州科罗拉多泉成立。因为他们的2首单曲，《Apologize》、《Stop and Stare》，而受大众注意。2007年由Timbaland制作混音的首张单曲《Apologize》在告示牌排行榜Top 5停留了五周，并晋升至亚军的位置。在2007年底发行了首张专辑《Dreaming Out Loud》，在美国也已卖出金唱片的成绩，更让英美乐迷评盛：“继基音、酷玩、魔力红之后，One Republic将是摇滚乐迷唯一的选择。”
All This Time选自他们2009年的专辑《Waking Up》，这首歌以钢琴及电子琴为主，主唱以那柔情中带点忧愁的唱腔，触动人心，还被选为9月刚刚出炉的热门美剧《吸血鬼日记》第2季第2集的片尾曲。
All This Time
One Republic
Six on the second hand
To New Year’s resolution
And there's just no question
What this man should do
Take all the time lost
All the days that I cost
Take what I took and
Give it back to you
All this time
We were waiting for each other
All this time
I was waiting for you
We got all these words
Can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line
Running back to you
I don't know what day it is
I had to check the paper
I don't know the city
But it isn't home
But you say I'm lucky
To love something that loves me
But I'm torn as I could be
Wherever I roam
Hear me say
All this time
We were waiting for each other
All this time
I was waiting for you
We got all these words
Can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line
Running back to you
Yeah, all, running back to you
Yeah, all, running back to you
Oh, I will travel so far
It's just so far
To get back to where you are
All this time
We were waiting for each other
All this time
I was waiting for you
We got all these words
Can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line
Running back to you
I'm straight in a straight line
Running back to you
Straight in a straight line
Running back to you
