"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.[2] 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).[2][3] Daughtry described the sound as "a hybrid of where we've been and where we are going."[2]
