Daughtry

"Waiting For Superman" is the first single from the rock band led by American Idol alum, Chris Daughtry, Daughtry. Their fourth studio album, entitled Baptized, was released on September 17th via RCA Records. The song was co-written by Sam Hollander and Martin Johnson, the guys behind Karmin's "Acapella". "Waiting For Superman" is about a girl, who feels alone, and who's been 'locked up in her apartment', waiting for that prince charming, aka. her superman, to come and the two fall in love, and have a happy ever after. The group has been active on social media lately, launching a campaign with Hyperactivate last week to release the single artwork and track.

"In light of our new musical direction, it feels like a 'rebirth' of our band in many ways. Therefore, the new album is officially titled ... Baptized," Chris has stated.
