The story behind the song

"Home" captures the powerful pull of returning to where you belong, even as new opportunities beckon. Written by Chris Daughtry during a "torturous waiting period" after making it to Hollywood for American Idol, the song expresses the unique feeling of being away from family and familiar surroundings, looking out into the night and feeling the miles stretch out. It speaks to that deep desire to go back to a place of comfort and connection. Released in 2007 on the band's self-titled debut album, it's a tender reflection on roots and belonging.
