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."[1]

"Bad Day" was the final single released from Something Like Human and peaked at number 64 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart that year.

gollark: To be honest this way to write octal literals should really be seen as a JS bug. But they can't really change it now.
gollark: Oh yes. That's probably problematic. Guess he didn't notice.
gollark: Through sheer coincidence he didn't run into bugs there.
gollark: It also accidentally makes it octal, too!
