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.

I live days, alone and afraid
With my devils, how I wrestle them
I spent hours staring out at the walls
I heard angels sing Hallelujah
I'm tired of waiting for the ship to come
And being told that it can't be done
Gonna go ahead and give me some
Gonna go ahead and give me some, oh oh
Won't let 'em get to me, won't let 'em get to me
Won't let 'em get to me, get to me, get to me
I'm gonna fight with mercy, love and anger
They won't get to me, get to me cause that's the stuff of legends
All my power, live life louder
They won't get to me, get to me cause that's the stuff of legends
Walk that walk, feelin' like a boss
Flip that blue switch, turn them lights on
I'm tired of waiting for the day to come
So make away without blocking the sun
Gonna go ahead and give me some
Gonna go ahead and give me some, oh oh
Won't let 'em get to me, won't let 'em get to me
Won't let 'em get to me, get to me, get to me
I'm gonna fight with mercy, love and anger
They won't get to me, get to me cause that's the stuff of legends
All my power, life life louder
They won't get to me, get to me cause that's the stuff of legends
I'm tired of waiting for the day to come
So make away without blocking the sun
Gonna go ahead and give me some
Gonna go ahead and give me some, oh oh
Won't let 'em get to me, won't let 'em get to me
Won't let 'em get to me, get to me, get to me
(All my power, stuff of legends)
(They won't get to me, they won't get to me, yeah)
Won't let 'em get to me, won't let 'em get to me
Won't let 'em get to me, no
Won't let 'em get to me, won't let 'em get to me
Won't let 'em get to me, get to me, get to me
I'm gonna
I'm gonna fight with mercy, love and anger
They won't get to me, get to me cause that's the stuff of legends
All my power, live life louder
They won't get to me, get to me cause that's the stuff of legends
I'm tired of waiting for the day to come
So make away without blocking the sun
Gonna go ahead and give me some
Gonna go ahead and give me some, oh oh
I'm tired of waiting for the day to come
So make away without blocking the sun
Gonna go ahead and give me some
Gonna go ahead and give me some, oh oh
I'm tired of waiting for the day to come
So make away without blocking the sun
Gonna go ahead and give me some
Gonna go ahead and give me some, oh oh
