Just going to put this here until it's inevitably announced as the second single from Baptized.
Don't ask me how people love like battleships. ???

Finally, the obvious single choice. Sadly, I don't see it having much momentum, though.
IMO, Daughtry was hindered by staying with the AC/Pop sound, but if Chris went the Hard Rock direction, that doesn't do much on radio. They're kind of stuck between and a rock and a hard place with their sound, but I think it makes it worse that it sounds like Pop/Rock from 2006, instead of the rock style that's s not played on radio much anymore, but it's still regarded as great. These guys are too concerned with commercial success to really do a major turnaround into the band they could be. Rant over. LOL.

This could have gained some momentum had Daughtry been smart and performed this on Idol last week instead of the already declined single "Waiting for Superman"...

obviously love and battleships are related because love is deep and when you play battleship you sink opponents ships into the deep ocean.

I still think "Long Live Rock and Roll" is a better choice than this.

Yeah anyone who chases commercial success and doesn't just do it organically, never really wins in the long run. These rock bands need to maintain their origins or they will really lose their way in years to come.

I thought this would have been giant on radio, but it was a huge flop.

This IS a good song. I can't see why HOT AC Radio isn't really playing this more. This should be Top 20, at least.

To be honest, I was quite sure it would suffer a high burnt out rate (even though it sounded catchy). But I was wrong! It actually becomes a highly rotated song in my playlist (once I started to embrace the boom thingy). The entire HOT AC gang should be crucified for marginalizing a deserving song!!!

Poor Daughtry. The band just cannot get a grip back on pop/HAC radio at all. The music tastes have just drifted away from them.

#1 on HAC Rate the Music, this week.
Does Radio still pay attention to Rate The Music?

This is a great song, but Daughtry should go back to his roots.

It's pretty obvious RCA is giving them zero radio support. Radio isn't gonna budge without it.

Still getting airplay on my Hot AC station, as it has been for a while now. But it's been declining for sure.
