"Freefall" is a song by American rock band Nothing More featuring Chris Daughtry of the band Daughtry. It is the fourth single and bonus track from Nothing More's digital deluxe version of their seventh album Carnal. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart in August 2025.
Background and recording
The original version of "Freefall" appears as the fifth track on Carnal. The band later revisited the song, recording a revised version featuring guest vocals from Chris Daughtry for the album's deluxe edition.[1] This version was shared online on March 28, 2025, accompanied by an official music video.[2] The official single was released on March 31, 2025.[3]
Composition and lyrics
Guitarist Mark Vollelunga said the song's lyrics were written to support listeners going through mental health struggles and to remind them they are not alone during difficult times.[1] Singer Jonny Hawkins said the song is about times of uncertainty and personal loss,[2] illustrating how such experiences can result in personal or spiritual growth[4] and describing moments when life feels like the ground has been pulled out from under you.[5]
Music video
The music video was directed by Stephen Wayne Mallet. It shows a firefighter dealing with mental health challenges who finds renewed purpose after meeting a homeless dog.[4] It was filmed in Clifton, Tennessee, and includes local first responders and actor Michael Lombardi.[6] The video features the band's collaboration with K9s for Warriors, an organization that provides service dogs to veterans and first responders.[7]
Charity and activism
In conjunction with the release, the band partnered with K9s For Warriors. Vollelunga said the partnership was intended to raise awareness of PTSD and mental health trauma and noted the positive impact of service animals.[7] Hawkins said that the song's themes made it a natural fit for the partnership and that he welcomed Daughtry's contribution to the track.[5]
