La historia de Daughtry comienza en la pequeña ciudad de Roanoke Rapids, Carolina del Norte, donde Chris Daughtry, el fundador y corazón del grupo, nació el 26 de diciembre de 1979. Desde muy joven, Chris mostró un profundo apego por la música, influenciado por artistas del rock de alta talla como Guns N' Roses, Pearl Jam, y Journey.
El camino de Chris hacia la fama no fue sencillo. En su adolescencia, tocó en varias bandas locales, explorando diferentes géneros y perfeccionando su oficio. Uno de sus primeros grupos fue Absent Element, donde además de cantar, tocaba la guitarra. Sin embargo, el destino de Chris estaba a punto de cambiar de manera drástica.
El punto de inflexión llegó en 2005, cuando Chris decidió participar en la quinta temporada de American Idol. Su participación en el programa lo catapultó a un nivel de visibilidad sin precedentes, aunque sorpresivamente fue eliminado en el cuarto lugar. A pesar de no ganar el concurso, Chris dejó una marca indeleble, y la industria de la música tomó nota de su talento.
Tras su paso por American Idol, Chris Daughtry recibió varias ofertas de disqueras y decidió formar su propia banda. En 2006, nació Daughtry, con una formación que incluía a Chris como vocalista principal y guitarrista, Josh Steely en la guitarra líder, Brian Craddock en la guitarra rítmica, Josh Paul en el bajo, y Joey Barnes en la batería.

Your life is like a crack in the mirror
7 years of bad luck it aint getting better now
Not till all is said and done
Reflection in the window is the same old face
Background small town everywhere you look around
Tell me what you're runnin from
Flip a coin and let it land in your hand
Heads you gonna stay but its tails
[Chorus]
So you can move to another town
Hide where you're sure you wont be found
But its still just you on the inside
You can pretend it'll be alright
Said it to yourself but you know its just a lie
Cause its still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside...
[Verse 2]
Nothin faster than the speed of your leavin
A hundred miles an hour and there aint no slowin down
But you can't outrun yourself
Hey you can say you fit in like a joker in the deck
But now you're skipping like a broken record goin round
You're the last to ask for help
You flip a coin and let it land in your hand
Heads you gonna stay but its tails
[Chorus]
So you can move to another town
Hide where you're sure you wont be found
But its still just you on the inside
You can't pretend it'll be alright
Said it to yourself but you know its just a lie
Cause its still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside
[Bridge]
Its never really been a question of how far
And at the end of every destination there you are
[Ending chorus]
You can move to another town
Hide where you're sure you won't be found
But its still just you on the inside
You can pretend it will be alright
No matter how you sell it
When you tell it its a lie
Cause its still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside (you can go and change and to me you'll always be the same)
Still you on the inside (you can try and run and know you'll always be the same inside)
Still you on the inside (you can go and change and to me you'll always be the same)
Still you on the inside (you can try and run and know you'll always be the same inside)
Still love you on the inside.
