"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.
Another version called "Watch Over You Duet" was recorded with Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil and will be released in Germany and Italy. It is not known yet if it will be released worldwide. The duet version is currently on the band's MySpace page.
When performed live, "Watch Over You" is usually played acoustically.
A music video was filmed for "Watch Over You", which began airing in Australia and New Zealand in mid-September, 2008. A link can be found below. In late September/early October, another version of the video was released and aired on VH1 using clips from and used as promotion for the reality television series Celebrity Rehab.
The Celebrity Rehab version of the video also debuted at #10 on the VH1 Top 20 Countdown, and has since reached as high as the #3 spot, making it one of the most popular Alter Bridge songs to date.
The video appears to have been filmed in the same location as the videos for Slipknot's "Before I Forget" and Shinedown's "Devour."
