In the season one finale, Ryan Tedder moves into the guest recording artist spot when his band, OneRepublic, comes to “Songland” to hear unknown songwriters pitch their original material to be the band’s next hit song. Special guest Jason Evigan, an accomplished writer-producer and hitmaker behind Maroon 5’s #1 song “Girls Like You,” and “What Lovers Do,” joins Ester Dean and Shane McAnally to help creatively adapt the songs to perfectly fit the style of OneRepublic. One song is chosen to be recorded by OneRepublic and released for a global audience.
