Waiting for Superman (song)

[3] An electropop ballad, the song was co-written by Sam Hollander and Boys Like Girls lead singer Martin Johnson.

The song's title and lyrics are references to the comic book superhero Superman and contains other allusions and metaphors to the comic—including Lois Lane and Metropolis.

Daughtry announced the release date would be September 17, 2013, though whether the track was to be available to download on that day or was to have its first play on the radio was left unclear.

[7] The music video features Chris Daughtry, Thomas Dekker and Patrick Muldoon and was directed by Shane Drake.

The woman about to be run over is mad that he shoved her, the police think he's in league with the purse snatcher and nearly arrest him and the suicidal man is upset to be pulled away from the ledge.

The song cuts to shots of a girl being teased by a pack of other teens in an alleyway and of Daughtry singing in the midst of his actions.

He chases the bullies off, but a nearby passerby (bassist Josh Paul) calls the police, thinking the man is attacking the teens.
