After its European success, it was released in the United States where it topped theBillboardHot 100,Pop 100,Adult Top 40,andAdult Contemporarycharts. In 2006, it became the first song ever to sell two million digital copies in the United States, as well as being measured byBillboardas the most popular song of the year inside of the United States, and the first under its new system.

Background and release
editAfter leavingMacEwan UniversityinEdmontonat 20, Powter moved toVancouver,British Columbia where he played keyboards before he started composing songs.[1][2]In 1997, he partnered with music producer Jeff Dawson; they recorded "Bad Day" in 2002.[1]For two weeks,[3]Powter had a melody that "wouldn't go away" from his mind.[1]Thinking of a lyric that would fit the melody, he thought an "up and poppy" lyric would make it "the cheesiest song of all time".[3]He then thought "bad day" would be a good choice for the chorus,[1]and wrote the lyrics partly based on his life as "a struggling musician".[3]It was the last song to be composed for his album,[4]with Powter writing it in an hour during a ferry journey betweenVictoriaand Vancouver.[5]Powter said it was not a lyrically elaborate song, but that: "mostly it's about phonics. It's about words that sing great. I was mumbling something, and those words came out."[3]
Dawson and Powter included the song on a disc that was offered to record labels that asked Powter to audition in New York, but his lack of stage presence led to the labels turning him down. Disappointed, he returned to Vancouver to move on because: "once a record company says no, it's difficult to come around again".[1]After this failure, his new representative, Gary Stamler, played ademo tapefor Tom Whalley, chairman and CEO ofWarner Bros. Records.[1][6]Whalley offered Powter a contract but he was reluctant to sign it because he considered himself primarily a songwriter.[1]He accepted the offer in April 2003 and, along with Dawson and producerMitchell Froom,worked on his album and the song inLos Angeles,California.[1]The album was originally recorded in Powter's Vancouver apartment but Warner Bros. asked that it be rerecorded.[2]However, because Froom wanted to keep its "original feel[ing]",[7]in Powter's words it was just "touch[ed] up".[2]
"Bad Day" was first released to three French radio stations—RTL,NRJ,andEurope 2—in early 2005.[a]On February 8,Barnes & Noblereleased it on an exclusiveextended play(EP), which also contained "Free Loop","Lie to Me ", and" Song 6 ".[10]In the United States it wasdigitally releasedon February 22, 2005.[11]In 2005,Warner Bros. Recordsreleased it as a CD single in Switzerland on March 4,[12]in France on March 22,[13]in Italy on May 18,[14]in Germany on May 30,[15]in Australia on June 27,[16]in the United Kingdom on July 25,[17]and in Canada on July 28.[18]The Swiss and Canadian release also included "Stupid Like This", a non-album track,[12][18]while the Italian, German, and Australian versions included "Stupid Like This" and "Lost on The Stoop".[14][15][16]In France and the United Kingdom, both versions were released,[19][20][21][22]and the British release also contained the music video for "Bad Day".[22]A live-recorded version for Austrian radio stationHitradio Ö3was included on the 2005 EPFree Loop.[23]On August 6, 2008, an EP live from Tokyo was released exclusively on iTunes and it included "Song 6", "Free Loop", "Best of Me", "Love You Lately" and "Bad Day".[24]"Bad Day" was also included on Powter's compilation albumsB-Sides(2007) andBest of Me(2010).[25]
Composition
editBitching and griping about nothing. My granddad used to say to me, 'There's better people who are worse off than you,' and I always remember that. It's a song about trying to make people feel better. I'm making fun of you, but at the same time making fun of myself.
— Daniel Powter[26]
"Bad Day" is amidtempopop[27]power ballad,[28][29][30]performed in a moderategrooveand accompanied by a piano.[31][32]The song is composed in thekeyofE♭ major(with the bridge inF# major), and usessyncopated16th-noterhythms.[31]According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Warner Bros., Powter's vocals range from the note of E♭3andD♭5.[33]Its instrumentation differs from "the scores of adolescent thrust-rockers"[34]and includes, as Powter referred to it, "aggressive" drums.[4]David Browne ofEntertainment Weeklysaid it is: "addressed to anyone who's feeling depressed... but [in contrast] its grand, panoramic arrangement wants to pump you up".[35]Simon Donohue of theManchester Evening Newscommented its sound "seagues [sic] from boy band banality toFoo Fighters-style raucous rock ".[36]According to Winston Kung ofPopMatters,it is "in tune with thezeitgeist".[37]
The lyrics of "Bad Day" were said to have a universal appeal byAlan ConnorofBBC News Magazineas they have an "everyman breeziness" because the song's subject can be any person going through a bad daytime.[38]Stephen Thomas Erlewine fromAllMusicdescribed it as: "a loping, sunny tune that pretty much has the opposite sentiment of its title".[27]AlthoughAbout.com's Bill Lamb described its lyrics as having a "reassuring, comforting" tone,[39]Powter said the song "mak[es] fun of self-absorbed and narcissistic people who bitch and gripe".[7]He also affirmed: "It's not literally about having a bad day, it's more about not taking yourself too seriously and complaining about trivial things".[40]
Critical reception
editThe song received mixed reviews by commentators; some reviewers praised it for its composition, while other critics felt that the lyrics were not profound.Billboard'sChuck Taylorcalled the song "instantly memorable" and praised its instrumentation for being different "from the scores of adolescent thrust-rockers currently dominating the scene."[34]Dubbing it "elegant, timelesspop/rock",[34]Taylor qualified it as "one of the great discoveries of the year",[41]whilePete Waterman,writing forThe Guardianin 2007, stated it was "one of [his] favourite songs of recent years".[42]Eric R. Danton from theHartford Courantclassified it as the best track on the album, while Erlewine called it "the template for the rest of his debut".[27][43]In contrast, Wilson Kung said the song "pales in comparison to some of the truly strong songs" on the albumDaniel Powter.[37]Alan Connor ofBBC News Magazinesaid it is a typical sentimental song but that in "Bad Day" 's case "there's even less detail".[38]He said the song "is so low on the specifics, there are some couplets that feel like they've been translated from a foreign language, possibly by a computer".[38]A writer forThe Daily Edgecalled it "a song so sweet it gave you a toothache",[44]while a reviewer fromThe Scotsmancalled it a "horrible song".[45]Bill Lamb said it "feels genuine" but "if you are looking for depth, this is not your song",[46]Chris Lee of theLos Angeles Timessaid the song is "baleful but soulful",[47]andPeoplecommented: "'Bad Day' may be catchy enough to overcome its trite lyrics".[48]

The music video accompanying "Bad Day" features a man (Jason Adelman) and a woman (Samaire Armstrong) going about their daily routines over a three-day period. Parts of the video are shown insplit screenas they do exactly the same thing at different times, sometimes in the same location. The central point of the video occurs when they paint separately on the same billboard, which originally featured a woman sitting on a bench. Armstrong's character shows her negativeness by adding rain and a taxi spraying water at the woman, while Adelman adds an umbrella and a man with a coat to cover the woman. At some point, he draws a question mark and she completes it with a heart. At the end of the video, they finally meet when the man offers the woman an umbrella during a rain shower as a taxi cab stops for them. Throughout the video, Powter is shown playing piano onPershing Squarein downtownLos Angeleswhile wearing atuque—a type of knitted hat.

Throughout the video, a man wearing a hooded jacket is walking along a sidewalk with a rain cloud above his head. At one point, he gets an umbrella, but later on, he gets splashed by a passing taxi. By the end, the weather clears up and the man meets up with a woman, finally smiling after a bad day.
Usage in other media
edit"Bad Day" was much used in the media, to the point where Powter declared he felt "quite detached from th[e] song. It's more like it's everybody's song."[118]According to Alan Connor: "...turning off the radio isn't enough to escape the tune.

"Weird Al" Yankovicwanted to record a parody of the song in 2006, but Powter refused his proposal.[128]Later, however, Powter decided to give him permission to record the parody, which was to have been called "You Had a Bad Date", but was told by Yankovic that "the train had left the station", as he recorded "White & Nerdy"the day after instead.[128][129]In April 2006, "Bad Day" was parodied on an episode of the television seriesSaturday Night Live,featuring a montage of former member of the United States House of RepresentativesTom DeLay.[3][130]The Daily Showused the song for anAmerican Idol-based montage satirizing the June 2006 death ofAbu Musab al-Zarqawi,leader ofAl-Qaeda in Iraq.[131][132]It was parodied by comedy group Moron Life titled "Overplayed" and was released onMySpacein August 2006.[38][133]"Bad Day" was also covered by the fictional music groupAlvin and the Chipmunksfor their 2007 filmAlvin and the Chipmunks.[28]Their version made the charts in January 2008, peaking at number 67 on theBillboardHot 100.[134]
