Ryan Tedder on his "sad" conception story
November 9, 2022
One question I never thought I'd bring up in an interview: how were you conceived?!
That happened when I talked to Ryan Tedder, as he was telling me the story of how his song was picked for Top Gun: Maverick.
Is it really that sad if their random, angry hook up led to some of our generations best songs?! I think not.
To hear more about how "I Ain't Worried" was written, and picked for the movie, listen to the full conversation below! Ryan never thought he was writing a song for OneRepublic to perform... until Tom Cruise and the powers that be encouraged it.
