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.

You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around
You used to lean on me like
The only other choice was falling down
You used to walk with me like
We had no where we needed to go
Nice and slow
To no place in particular
We used to have this figured out
We used to breathe without a doubt
When nights were clear
You were the first star that I'd see
We used to have this under control
We never thought
We used to know
At least there's you
And at least there's me
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back?
To how it used to be
I used to reach for you
I got lost along the way
I used to listen
You always had the just right thing to say
I used to follow you
Never really cared where we would go
Fast or slow
To anywhere at all
We used to have this figured out
We used to breathe without a doubt
When nights were clear
You were the first star that I'd see
We used to have this under control
We never thought
We used to know
At least there's you
And at least there's me
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back?
To how it used to be
I look around me
And I want you to be there
Cause I miss the things that we shared
Look around you
It's empty and you're sad
Don't you miss the love that we had?
You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around
The only one around
We used to have this figured out
We used to breathe without a doubt
When nights were clear
You were the first star that I'd see
We used to have this under control
We never thought
We used to know
At least there's you
And at least there's me
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back?
To how it used to be
To how it used to be yeah
To how it used to be
To how it used to be
