"Bad Day" is a song by the American rock band Fuel originally released on their 2000 album "Something Like Human".

Written by guitarist Carl Bell, "Bad Day" was written before the band was signed to a major label. The band tried to record a version for their major label debut, but according to lead singer Brett Scallions, "We tried recording 'Bad Day' back when we did the "Sunburn" album [in 1998] and just didn’t get it right. It was a song that was with us way before we signed on with Sony and Epic." [ [http://www.modeweekly.com/2001/01.06.21/01.06.21_Fuel.htm Hummel, Lisa.

"Bad Day" was the final single released from "Something Like Human" and peaked at #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart that year. [ [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/retrieve_chart_history.do?model.vnuArtistId=10712&model.vnuAlbumId=960395 Billboard Chart History] ]
