Daughtry is an American rock band from North Carolina, formed by former American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry in 2006.

Their self-titled debut album was released on November 21, 2006. The disc reached #1 for two non-consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200, outsold Idol winner Taylor Hicks' debut effort, and sold more than 3 million copies. Their album is also the fastest-selling debut rock album in Soundscan history.

Although due to Chris Daughtry, the lead singer of the band's popularity on American Idol, most lyric pages on the Internet and peer-to-peer networks credit his song by him instead of the entire band.

The first single from the album, "It's Not Over," debuted on the radio on December 6, 2006, after being delayed from a planned September release.[4] The self-titled[6] debut album, which was produced by Howard Benson, was released by 19 Entertainment and RCA Records on November 21, 2006.

The song was an instant success, shooting up the Billboard Hot 100 reaching #4 and hitting the top 3 in several other charts. "It's Not Over" bears a somewhat strong resemblance to Fuel's hit song "Hemorrhage (In my Hands)" (the two songs share a similar key and chord progression, among other elements), which Chris Daughtry performed on American Idol on March 1, 2006.

The second single from the album, "Home" peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, after debuting at #83 weeks ahead of its official release to radio. The song was also the official "kick off" song on sixth season of American Idol, in which it was played after a contestant was voted off the show.

The album's third single, " What I Want", was released to Rock Radio on April 23, 2007. The song features Slash on lead guitars. It has peaked at number 6 on the Rock charts.

Their song "There and Back Again" is the official theme song for WWE Backlash 2007. Their debut album was certified Triple Platinum on June 21, 2007.

The band's fourth single "Over You" was released July 24th. The band performed this single live on Good Morning America on June 1, 2007. "Crashed", the album's fifth single, was released to Rock stations on September 10, 2007.
