In a powerhouse collaboration that no one saw coming, rock heavyweights Nothing More and Chris Daughtry have teamed up for a brand-new single titled “Freefall.” Released on August 1, 2025, the track is already making waves across streaming platforms, uniting fans of modern alternative metal with those who’ve followed Daughtry’s post-American Idol rock journey for over a decade.

A Collision of Power and Emotion

“Freefall” is a raw, emotional anthem about the chaos of letting go — whether it’s from a toxic relationship, the grip of addiction, or one’s own inner demons. The track opens with Nothing More’s signature dynamic instrumentation — heavy drums, sharp guitar riffs, and cinematic soundscapes — before Chris Daughtry’s unmistakable vocals cut through with haunting clarity.

The chorus erupts into a powerful back-and-forth between Daughtry and Nothing More’s lead vocalist Jonny Hawkins, whose emotional intensity and theatrical delivery have long defined the band’s sound. Together, their voices blend into something deeply human — urgent, fragile, and unrelenting.

Behind the Scenes of “Freefall”

In a joint statement, Nothing More shared:

“We’ve always admired Chris’s voice and authenticity. When we started working on ‘Freefall,’ we knew it needed that extra edge — and Chris brought that and more. This song is about surrender, about falling without knowing when you’ll hit the ground — and still choosing to leap.”

Daughtry echoed that sentiment, calling the collaboration “one of the most creatively satisfying” of his career.

“I’ve been a fan of Nothing More for years. The way they push boundaries sonically and lyrically is inspiring. When they sent me ‘Freefall,’ I connected with it instantly. It felt like something I’d been wanting to say for a long time.”

Fan Reactions and Early Impact

Within hours of its release, “Freefall” climbed into the Top 10 of the Rock iTunes chart and was added to several major Spotify playlists, including “New Noise” and “Rock Hard.” Fans on social media praised the unexpected collaboration, calling it “a perfect storm of talent” and “the rock song of the year.”

One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Daughtry and Nothing More? Didn’t know I needed this until now. This is straight-up fire.”

Music Video and Upcoming Tour Plans

The official music video for “Freefall” is set to drop on August 5. Teaser clips posted to both artists’ Instagram accounts show a visually intense, dystopian setting with themes of falling, transformation, and rebirth.

Both Daughtry and Nothing More have hinted at performing the song live during upcoming shows. With Nothing More gearing up for their fall tour and Daughtry currently supporting his Dearly Beloved anniversary run, fans are hoping for surprise joint appearances.

“Freefall” isn’t just a song — it’s a statement.
In an era where genre lines are blurring more than ever, Nothing More and Chris Daughtry prove that true artistry lies in taking bold leaps — even if it means not knowing where you’ll land.
