Source-derived summary

"Rich Love" is a song by American pop rock band OneRepublic and Norwegian EDM record production trio Seeb. The song was written by Brent Kutzle, Seeb and Ryan Tedder, with the latter two handling the song's production. The pop song was released on July 14, 2017, through Mosley Music Group and Interscope Records.

Critical reception

Sabrina Finkelstein of Billboard magazine described the drop as a "smooth and energetic tropical" one. "OneRepublic dabbling in dance music makes for a summer jam we can get behind!" Katrina Rees of CelebMix felt the song "infectious" and "showcases a slightly different side to OneRepublic". She called the song a "slick dance track" and a "stray-away" from OneRepublic's "typically anthemic sound" with Seeb's influence. Karlie Powell of YourEDM regarded the single as "another mainstream-ish song", and felt the song "almost too catchy thanks to OneRepublic's repertoire of hit-worthy pop music" and is "almost impossible to not sing along". Erik Mahal of EDM Sauce wrote that the vocals are "gorgeous" and "silky smooth and naturally flow with the gorgeous arrangements", and called the track "catchy" and "solid". He felt that the "melodic sections seem familiar" to Seeb's remix of "I Took a Pill in Ibiza", and that the song's originality cannot be retained. "There is nothing wrong on this one, we just know that Seeb could have brought a bit more." Kevin Apaza of Directlyrics called the verses and the chorus "very pop folk, Avicii-esque", while the post-chorus is "an EDM beat drop instrumental".

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2017 single by OneRepublic. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 21, 2026.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
