Daughtry Drops New Single “THE DAY I DIE”

GRAMMY®-nominated rock band Daughtry unveils their new single “THE DAY I DIE,” out now via Big Machine Rock. Written by Chris Daughtry alongside Marti Frederiksen and Scott Stevens, “The Day I Die” is a deeply personal admission drenched in Chris Daughtry’s signature powerhouse vocals. The track blends raw emotion with a heavy, anthemic sound, building into an explosive crescendo that showcases the band’s ability to deliver both vulnerability and intensity in equal measure. The track sets the stage for the bands next chapter, promising more of the dynamic sound that has earned them recognition as Billboard’s #1 Rock Airplay Artist of 2024.

“This song was written during a time where I was feeling an immense amount of pressure from so many aspects of my everyday life,” shares frontman Chris Daughtry. “The thought of escaping just sounded like a beautiful dream.”
