Daughtry writes song with Richard Marx, Chad Kroeger

According to Richard Marx's latest blog entry, he just wrapped up writing with Chris Daughtry and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger:

Richard just returned home from 10 days of writing with several artists. In Nashville, with newly signed acts Jason Jones, The Coppolas and Meghan Kabir, along with current chart climber, Chuck Wicks and superstar, Gary Allan. Then Richard flew to Vancouver where he co-wrote a song with Chris Daughtry and Chad Kroeger. He heads back to Nashville next week to write with Jessica Andrews, who's recording her Lyric Street records debut, and new artists Kree Harrison and Shanna Crooks. Stay tuned for more info as it becomes available.

No word yet on whether or not the song will appear on Daughtry's upcoming album, never mind what its title is. The band's next album is tentatively set for a summer release.

Some track possibilities include the following:

"What I Meant to Say" (Chris Daughtry, Brian John Howes)
"Open Your Eyes" (C. Daughtry, David Hodges, Ben Moody)
"One Last Chance" (Mitch Allan, C. Daughtry, D. Hodges)

In an interview with Simon 98.7, the band's drummer, Joey Barnes, revealed more information on the release, saying they will record the second half of the album in Los Angeles and will choose 11-12 songs from a total of 20 or so recorded. He also said the band will headline their own tour this year to promote the album.

Howard Benson (Kelly Clarkson) will produce the album.
