Biography

The band currently consists of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Chris Daughtry, lead guitarist Brian Craddock, and keyboardist and rhythm guitarist Elvio Fernandes. Daughtry, one of the most visible and best-selling rock bands of the 21st century, has sold out concerts across the globe. Their debut album, the self-titled Daughtry, was the top-selling album of 2007 and was the fastest selling rock debut album in Soundscan history. The record was nominated for 4 GRAMMY® Awards and won 4 American Music Awards, alongside 7 Billboard Music Awards, including “Album of the Year.” Subsequent albums, Leave This Town (2009), Break The Spell (2011), and Baptized (2013) have all gone Platinum, with Cage To Rattle (2018) certified Gold. In 2021, the band released their record Dearly Beloved, with singles “World On Fire,” “Heavy Is The Crown,” and “Changes Are Coming,” all cracking the Top 10. Following yet another Top 10 success with their 2023 smash cover of Journey’s “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" featuring Halestorm's Lzzy Hale, Daughtry ushered in a new sonic era with their debut Big Machine Rock single, “Artificial.” The return to their heavy roots scored the band their first No. 1 single in the Active Rock format, followed by yet another No. 1 with follow up track, “Pieces.” The chart-topping singles laid the groundwork for their new EP, Shock to the System (Part One), out now on all platforms.

LYRICS

(Verse)
I'm sinkin inside
And the mass in lines are broken down tonight
I swallow my pride
But we're drowning in the ocean
And it's tearing my heart open baby

We're having regrets, it's yes then it's no and we're changing like the tides
But I want you, I need you and I guarantee you we'll make out alive

(Pre-Chorus)
‘Cause I don't wanna fight no more
Even when the waves get rough
I don't wanna see the day we said we've had enough
And I don't wanna fight this war
But it's comin off my lips
But we're still doing guns and make love like battleships
Like battleships

(Chorus)
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom
And the cannon goes

(Verse)
Bombs fly through the air
And I know that we're both playing not so fair
So show me you care
Got my white flag open, it's waving
‘Cause you know this love's worth saving baby

We're having regrets, it's yes then it's no and we're changing like the tides
But I want you, I need you and I guarantee you we'll make out alive

(Pre-Chorus)
‘Cause I don't wanna fight no more
Even when the waves get rough
I don't wanna see the day we said we've had enough
And I don't wanna fight this war
But it's comin off my lips
But we're still doing guns and make love like battleships
Like battleships

(Chorus)
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom

And we love, yea love
(Boom boom boom b-boom)
And we love, yea love
(Boom boom boom b-boom)

I'm sinkin inside
‘Cause we've finally put our weapons down tonight

(Pre-Chorus)
‘Cause I don't wanna fight no more
Even when the waves get rough
I don't wanna see the day we said we've had enough
And I don't wanna fight this war
But it's comin off my lips
But we're still doing guns and make love like battleships
Like battleships

(Chorus)
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom
We make love like battleships
