Torches (song)

"Torches" is a song recorded by American rock band Daughtry for their first greatest hits album, It's Not Over...The Hits So Far (2016).

==Composition==
"Torches" is song written by Chris Daughtry and Dave Bassett that addresses negativity in the world and how to combat it through spreading kindness like a fire. Driven by guitar and an anthemic chorus, the song represents a conscious return to the rock-oriented sound of the band's first three albums in light of the lukewarm reception to the pop-style production of previous album, Baptized (2013). Daughtry described the sound as "a hybrid of where we've been and where we are going."
