A light look at the bloopers behind his latest music promo
Chris Daughtry gave fans a good laugh this week after posting a behind-the-scenes clip that showed him trying to film a simple video liner for his song Antidote and absolutely struggling to get the words out. Instead of the polished, serious promo people expected, he shared the outtakes filled with mispronounced lines, jokes, restarts, and the kind of real moments artists usually hide.
The post felt relaxed and human, which is exactly why fans loved it. It also landed at an important time for him. His newest EP, Shock to the System (Part Two), is one of his most personal projects yet, leaning into a heavier sound and more honest songwriting. He has talked openly about stepping away from outside expectations and creating music that feels true to him, and this reel fits right into that direction.
Daughtry has had a big year already, with back-to-back number-one rock singles and tours alongside Creed, Disturbed, and now Seether. Antidote stands out as one of the EP’s most emotional tracks, mixing soft piano with a tense string build that shows just how much the band has evolved.
He has also been increasingly active online, even warning fans recently about fake AI content using his image. Sharing a blooper reel like this one makes it clear he wants people to see the real version of himself: the artist who cares deeply about his work and the guy who sometimes cannot get through a single sentence without laughing.
It is a small moment, but it says a lot about where he is headed creatively. And based on the comments, fans are here for every imperfect, funny, behind-the-scenes bit of it.
