Marchin On


"Marchin On" is a song by American band OneRepublic, released on June 18, 2010. It was written and produced by frontman Ryan Tedder for the group's second studio album Waking Up. Producer and rapper Timbaland included a remixed version of the song for his third studio album Shock Value II.
The track was released as the album's third single in German-speaking Europe in June 2010, where it served as German TV channel ZDF's promotional FIFA 2010 World Cup song and it was also used by HBO to promote their 2012 programming line up. The song was used in the episode 20 of season one of The CW series The Vampire Diaries.
Originally, the song "Good Life" was supposed to serve as the third single, but due to "Marchin On" being selected for FIFA, "Good Life" had to be pushed back to being the fourth single.
