A Daily AntheM

The capital letters in the song's title spell out ADAM, which is a subliminal message for Cook's brother, Adam, whose struggle with brain cancer has been a source of much anguish for David. The American Idol winner explained to Entertainment Weekly: "A Daily AntheM'' is three years old. I didn't originally write it with the intention of it being about Adam. I just wanted to write something that had a John Lennon, 'War Is Over' quality. Then I was like, oh s---, if you capitalize that letter and that letter and that letter, you've capitalized my brother's name."

This power ballad is the only track on Cook's self-titled major release debut album, on which he is the sole credited writer.
