Lucky is the fifth studio album by American alternative rock band Nada Surf. It was released February 4, 2008 in Europe; February 5, 2008 in the USA, Canada and Australia; and February 18, 2008 in the UK and Japan to very positive reviews.

The band issued an official statement announcing this album on October 12, 2007. The song "See These Bones" premiered on the Anti-Hit List Podcast on October 20, 2007. [ [http://starweb.blogs.com/podcasts/2007/10/anti-hit-list-2.html Toronto Star Podcasts: Anti-Hit List - Oct. 20 ] ] Due to a misquotation of Matthew Caws, the album was first expected to be called "Time for Plan A".

The original pressing includes a 4-song bonus.

Lucky was leaked onto torrent and peer sharing sites before its official release date.

It reached #82 on the Billboard 200.

The song "Weightless" was featured in the "Heroes" episode "Out of Time."
