"Rescue Me" is a song by American band OneRepublic, released as the lead single from their fifth studio album Human through Interscope Records and Mosley Music Group on May 17, 2019.[1]

Promotion[edit]

The band announced the single on May 14, sharing a clip of a boy looking at a large waterfall before "eerie" music plays as the release date is shown.[2]

Music video[edit]

The music video shows a young boy, the protagonist, being chased by a group of bullies older than him. When he seems to have no escape, he begins to dance and discovers that he has powers, which he will use to overcome them.

It was directed by Christian Lamb and choreographed by Sherri Silver and was shot in Silverton, Oregon. It features Cody Bingham from Dancing with the Stars: Juniors as the young boy.[3]

The music video was released on May 17, 2019, and currently has almost 140 million views (December 2022).[4]
