"Stop and Stare" is the second single by American band OneRepublic from their debut studio album, Dreaming Out Loud (2007).

In live versions, guitarist Drew Brown plays a tremolo guitar solo during the bridge portion instead of the original recording.

Nick Levine of Digital Spy described the song as "a big, muscular rock ballad, very much in the Matchbox 20 mould, steered by a vein-poppingly emotional vocal from lead singer Ryan Tedder".

Throughout the video we see flashes of scenes with multiple versions of the band members Ryan Tedder, Zach Filkins, Eddie Fisher, Brent Kutzle, and Drew Brown.

As the video begins, we see Ryan walking through the desert toward an open grave where a preacher stands delivering a eulogy.

Upon physical release, "Stop and Stare" has peaked at number four on the chart, earning OneRepublic their second top five hit in Britain.
