Hot Theory Of A Deadman Remake!
Just kidding, but WOW.
He's gonna be performing the single on Idol May 6th. The album is supposedly coming June or July, but I think August is more likely if they want to properly promo it.
Co-writers this time include Chad Kroeger, Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace, and Jason Wade of Lifehouse.
Personally, I'm excited.

Not sure yet if this going to Rock radio since this could be a ballad but I hope not. Either way, I'm excited! They had good success with INO and WIW so I'm hoping for the same.

Hahahaha, maybe it is a TOAD remake, if Kroeger's involved. What's he 2 for 2 now?

So excited for this album, I've heard like 10 new songs from them. This, unfortunately, was not one of them.
I know he also worked with Doug Robb, Trevor McNevan and Rob Thomas, among others.

It's nice to know they're releasing a single that isn't on the first album for once considering they only had what eight of them out of the eleven tracks be sent to radio? Hooray for new material!

I want a #1 Active hit for them from this album (more so than I even want a #1 CHR hit, since they've a;ready had that), and whether or not it's this song, I definitely think they have the potential to do it, especially since the album is supposed to be "grittier" than the first.

No matter how gritty it is, I don't think an idol will ever hit #1 on active. Hope I'm wrong though. Daughtry did reasonably well with their rock singles from the past album, but recently David Cook has failed to even hit the top 50 with either of his rock singles. Granted, his songs aren't as hard as Daughtry's, but I still think the stigma shall remain for quite some time.

David Cook also made the mistake of having his first single being "Time Of My Life." Rock radio won't give anybody a chance after establishing themselves with that song. Daughtry was smart to have a rock single with high crossover potential first.

I always forget about "Time of My Life." Even though it wasn't technically the first single, it really did function as if it was. I think he hoped the Cornell songwriting tag on "Light On" would help him get his foot in the door, but alas, to no avail.

Had that been first, it might have...."Bar Ba Sol" just doesn't sound like a hit, and "Light On" is lighter than either of Daughtry's successful rock singles.

David Cook is not really as comparable to Daughtry when it comes to rock radio as a lot would like to think. As people have said, Cook's songs in general from his album are too AC for rock (or for pop for that matter). While I do think BBS would be a hit under somebody else, I think Cook's first 2 singles coupled with the fact that he won American Idol (not came in 4th place) hurt his future chances severely on rock radio. Daughtry on the other hand came out of the gate with a rock top 5, and followed it up with another almost top 5 on the format. So with the right song and promo I don't think an Active #1 from this album is as far of a stretch as some might think. I still say TABA from the first album could have done it had it followed WIW as the rock single instead of Crashed. But then again I have to hear the album before I can really say anything.

Eric Dill on the credits? Yep! I just saw this - The song was co-written by Chris Daughtry, Nickelback's lead vocalist Chad Kroeger, former Click Five lead vocalist Eric Dill, and Danish songwriter/producer Rune Westberg.top40.about.com/?once=true&

I've heard of the band (Didn't they have a decent-sized top 40 hit a couple years ago? "Just the Girl" I think?), I just can't picture Eric Dill sitting in a studio working on a song with Chris Daughtry and Chad Kroeger.

It might not have happened that way. I mean, the Course Of Nature guys got credit for "It's Not Over" even though they didn't actually sit in the studio with Daughtry to make it. It was their song to start with. A similar situation could have happened here. Maybe Eric had a song and gave it to Chad and Chris to work on.
Or maybe he sat in the studio with Chris and Chad, I don't know. I mean, Chris worked with Mitch Allan too.

Yeah I think that's what happened. Eric (or maybe Rune?) probably submitted the song to the label or Chris or whoever and Chris/label liked it and then he and Chad reworked it. I know Chris and Chad had writing sessions together (and was eventually joined by Richard Marx) so this was probably a product of that. I kinda wish though they released the Chris/Chad only song but I bet it's too hard to be a Top 40 single. I wish they dirty this one a bit.

I wish they dirty this one a bit. I don't, and quite honestly, I think every band that has done that in the past five years can go to hell. Except for Buckcherry. I'm alright with Buckcherry.

Wow, Richard Marx is really pulling in the rock bands these days. Worked on Red's album quite well :)

www.daughtryofficial.com/blog/lyrics-no-surprise-interpret-it-how-youNO SURPRISEI've practiced this for hours, gone round and round And now I think that I've got it all down And as I say it louder I love how it sounds Cause I'm not taking the easy way out Not wrapping this in ribbons Shouldn't have to give a reason why... It's NO SURPRISE I won't be here tomorrow I can't believe that I stayed till today Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE It came out like a river once I let it out When I thought that I wouldn't know how Held onto it forever just pushing it down Felt so good to let go of it now Not wrapping this in ribbons Shouldn't have to give a reason why It's NO SURPRISE I won't be here tomorrow I can't believe that I stayed till today There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow There's nothing here in this soul left to say Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow God know we tried to find an easier way Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE Our favorite place we used to go The warm embrace that no one knows The loving look that's left your eyes That's why this comes as no, as NO SURPRISE If I could see the future and how this plays out I bet it's better than where we are now But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why It's NO SURPRISE I won't be here tomorrow I can't believe that I stayed till today Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE The kiss goodnight, it comes with me Both wrong and right, our memories The whispering before we sleep, just one more thing that you can't keep Our favorite place we used to go The warm embrace that no one knows The loving look that's left your eyes But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE Written by: Chris Daughtry, Chad Kroeger, Eric Dill, and Rune Westberg

^Well, the whole "sitting in the studio" bit was just a mental image thing. That's just how a picture the writing process I guess lol. Either way, it seems like an odd fit. Then again (and speaking of Richard Marx), I said the same about Richard Marx and Red, little did I know that Marx actually came up with the screaming part in "Confession." Fun fact: Richard screamed that part of the song, in studio, to demonstrate it to Michael.
I can easily sing the lyrics to an old Absent Element song (Chris' old local band here in N.C.).
