Genre: Rock "Watch Over You" is a power ballad by American hard rock band Alter Bridge, featured on the band's second album Blackbird in 2007. The song is one of the softer songs on Blackbird and has a much lighter tone than other songs on the album. On January 2, 2008, the song was announced to be the third single off the album after "Ties That Bind". Although "Watch Over You" will be the third single, "Ties That Bind" was only released in the United Kingdom. Therefore, "Watch Over You" will be Alter Bridge's second single released worldwide. The song debuted at #30 on the Mainstream Rock Chart and is one of the band's most popular songs. In addition, it also appeared on certain episodes of Celebrity Rehab, as the song's music video was used as promotion for the series. Vocalist Myles Kennedy, who wrote the lyrics, has said that the song deals with addiction and the frustration of being unable to help someone who refuses to help himself.
