關於Bad Day的創作背景，Daniel Powter表示，這首歌就像是一個矛盾體。雖然沒有特定的某一個糟糕的日子給了他這首歌的靈感，但歌詞略微影射了Powter最初作為一個每周掙20美元的窮困音樂家掙扎的日子。Bad Day EP封面
歌詞
原文
Where is the moment when needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost Tell me your blue skies fade to grey Tell me your passion's gone away And I don't need no carrying on
You're standing in line just to hit a new low You're faking a smile with a coffee to go Tell me your life's been way off line You're falling to pieces every time And I don't need no carrying on
'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 on a smile And you go for a rideBad Day 單曲碟面
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
Well you need a blue sky holiday The point is they laugh at what you say And I don't need no carrying on
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 on a smileBad Day 宣傳單曲封面
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 Oh, a holiday
Sometimes the system goes on the brink And the whole thing turns out wrong You might not make it back and you know That you could be well all that strong And I'm not wrong
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
'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
