“All The Right Moves” is the first single from OneRepublic’s 2009 studio album, dubbed, Waking Up.
Tedder was part of the song’s production team, which included other producers like Andy Prickett and Brent Kutzle. “All The Right Moves” was authored by frequent OneRepublic songwriter, Ryan Tedder. So what this all boils down to is that in the wake of their continued success, OneRepublic remembers how they were initially mistreated and considered as flukes. And now they are here to remind the world, albeit in a sarcastic, self-deprecating tone, that at a certain point in time they actually suffered such trying criticisms. What they basically mean is that they have the connections, talent and looks to be successful within the field of their endeavors. However, considering the aforementioned background of the track, these actually read like sarcastic statements, as in they are actually mocking the music industry. 
So in this track in particular you see Tedder comparing “we” (as in OneRepublic) to “them” (likely a more-popular competitor). And what he is basically saying is that no matter how hard he tries, he and his homeys cannot transform themselves into someone else, as into another band who is more-popular than they are.Īlso prevalent throughout the song is the statement “we’re going down”. This seems to allude to him and his bandmates actually making it big. And in that regard, they have “all the right friends in all the right places” as well as “all the right moves and all the right faces”.
