A Reason to Fight

"A Reason to Fight" is a song by American heavy metal band Disturbed.

[2] In July 2018, upon the completion of recording the band's seventh studio album Evolution, frontman David Draiman polled fans as to whether they preferred the first single to be a heavy rock song, more akin to most of their back catalogue, or a more mellow ballad song, more comparable to their cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence".

[9] The rough song idea was initially proposed by guitarist Dan Donegan, and supported by frontman and lyricist David Draiman, who felt a personal connection to its message, having seen a number of people close to him struggle with addiction and depression.

[13] The song's musical direction was inspired by the band's success with their cover of "The Sound of Silence".

[11] Vince Neilstein of MetalSucks was critical of the song, summing it up as "Draiman whining over top acoustic guitars", but conceded that it was poised to do well at rock radio.
