I played it in front of him with my guitar and he pretty much signed me on the spot." Music video I played it for (then-RCA Records CEO) Clive Davis once I was off the show and had a meeting with him. I was wrapping my head around something a little more radio friendly and just started strumming and wrote “Home” within 15 to 20 minutes. I’m going to be away from my family for the first time and I’m not working a job anymore. And I got in that mindset of what this is going to be like. I can’t say when I am going to be on there, but it will be in a pretty big capacity.Chris Daughtry told Entertainment Weekly: "I had already made it through to Hollywood, but I’m still at home at this point, because once you make it through auditions there’s this whole torturous waiting period. “I am actually going to be pretty involved this season.

And how awesome would it be to take a little bit of that energy and just spread positivity and love and how that could catch fire and spread across the multitudes.”Ĭhris continued, “With all of the blatant negativity in the world, I wanted to hopefully be a part of starting that fire and let it spread, and hopefully in some way contribute to making this world a better place.” People go on the Internet just bashing people with no repercussions. “There is all this hate and the violence and the riots and overall negativity, not just in our country but in our world. “We started with this piano progression and I just started spitting out melodies and lyrics and it became very clear what this song should be about,” Chris shared with Billboard in a new interview. The song, co-written with Dave Bassett ( Elle King, Rachel Platten, Shinedown), is one of two new songs included on the set. Check out the cover art and tracklist HERE.
