"Battleships" is a song recorded by American rock band Daughtry for their fourth studio album, Baptized (2013).
It was serviced to hot adult contemporary radio in the US through RCA Records on May 12, 2014, as the third overall single from the album and the second to be promoted in North America.
The song is a pop rock power ballad that describes a tempestuous, conflict-riddled relationship wherein the narrator and his significant other "love like battleships".
[2] As one of the most strongly pop-influenced songs on the album, Chris Daughtry explained to The Hollywood Reporter that he was nervous fans would not take to "Battleships" due to it being "too weird", "too out-there" and/or "too pop", but that he fell in love with the new sound while recording it.
