You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost They tell me your blue skies fade to gray They tell me your passion's gone away And I don't need no carryin' on [Verse 2] You stand in the line just to hit a new low You're faking a smile with the coffee to go You tell me your life's been way off line You're falling to pieces every time And I don't need no carryin' on [Chorus] Because you had a bad day, you're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know, you tell me, don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day, the camera don't lie You're coming back down and you really don't mind You had a bad day You had a bad day Verse 3] Well, you need a blue sky holiday The point is they laugh at what you say And I don't need no carryin' on [Chorus] You had a bad day, you're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know, you tell me, don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day, the camera don't lie You're coming back down and you really don't mind You had a bad day Ooh, a holiday [Bridge] Sometimes, the system goes on the blink and the whole thing turns out wrong You might not make it back and you know that you could be, well, oh, that strong And I'm not wrong Yeah, yeah, yeah [Refrain] So where is the passion when you need it the most? Oh, you and I You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost [Chorus] 'Cause you had a bad day, you're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know, you tell me, don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day, you've seen what you're like And how does it feel? One more time You had a bad day You had a bad day (Ah, yeah, yeah) [Outro] Had a bad day (Ah, a holiday) Had a bad day (Ah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah) Had a bad day (Ah) You might also like But Daddy I Love Him Taylor Swift Temporary Eminem & Skylar Grey I Try Macy Gray 42 Embed About Genius Annotation 3 contributors This song is saying that even if you have a bad day once in a while, things will get better. In Europe, it was released in 2005 and became a hit when Coca-Cola used it as the theme song for an advertising campaign on the continent. It topped the Italian and German charts and was #2 in England for 3 weeks. In America, Powter’s album was released in 2006, and this song became a hit when the TV show American Idol started using it as a theme for the “goodbye video” for the departing contestants who were voted off the show on the fifth season. Daniel Powter was named by Billboard as the top one-hit wonder of the 2000s for this song. The magazine defined a one-hit wonder as an act whose second hit did not reach the Top 25 and only included acts from 2000 to 2007. Powter is from British Columbia. When this hit #1 in the US, Powter became the first Canadian to top the US charts since Nickelback did it with “How You Remind Me” in 2002. This was revealed to be the most played song in the UK over the last five years, in a survey announced in July 2008 by the British Performing Rights Society. The runner-up was Kelly Clarkson’s “Because Of You” and in third place came James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful”.

Genius Answer 1 contributor Powter on how he wrote “Bad Day” after the melody came in his head: It was driving me nuts, so I laid it down. I was looking for a lyric - and I thought it probably would’ve been the cheesiest song of all time if I’d written it really up and poppy - so I decided to make it have more of a negative connotation to it. So it’s sort of like a conflict. You’ve got a melody going one way, which is very up, and the lyric is supposed to be a little bit more of making fun of you, sort of like a tease. The whole record’s kind of like that. It’s that combination of a darker element with a melody." - Via MTV (2006) Official Lyric Video Genius Answer 1 contributor Who produced “Bad Day” by Daniel Powter?
