Five Finger Death Punch are heavy metal built for the pit, but on "Far From Home", from their second album War Is the Answer (2009), they drop the fists for a ballad. It took some doing. Zoltan Bathory has said they kicked it around for more than a year and even recorded an early version, but it wouldn't come together until producer Kevin Churko heard it and pushed them to keep working. They changed the structure and brought in strings, and in Bathory's view that lifted it onto another level entirely.
Churko shares the writing credit with Bathory, Jason Hook, Ivan Moody, Matt Snell and Jeremy Spencer. Issued in September 2010, it was the sixth and last single pulled from the album, and it entered the Mainstream Rock chart at No. 33 before climbing to No. 4, while reaching No. 14 on the Rock Songs chart.
