An influential American reviewer wrote when he first heard this latest hit from Ryan Tedder and co, "It's probably their catchiest song since 'Counting Stars'." I wouldn't disagree and "Rescue Me"'s success in both the US and UK charts shows that Tedder still has an amazing grasp for conceiving pop rock choruses which instantly register. In an age of transitory relationships, this song questioning a romantic partner's commitment cleverly makes its point. You've heard it on pop radio. You've heard it on Cross Rhythms radio. You'll be hearing "Rescue Me" nagging at the back of your head for months to come.
