“Bad Day” by Daniel Powter (2005)
Koichi Kamoshida
“So you had a bad day?” With those six words, singer-songwriter Daniel Powter created one of the most iconic ballads of all time. While the song itself is excellent, it was its use in the fifth season of American Idol, as the goodbye song, that genuinely catapulted it to fame. In fact, one BBC reporter said, “turning off the radio isn’t enough to escape [‘Bad Day’]. It can be heard everywhere from in shops, on mobiles, and especially on T.V.” Still, even today, it’s hard not to sing along when you hear the song.
Unfortunately for Powter, he could never live up to the hit of “Bad Day.” But that hasn’t stopped him from trying. He recently released a new, self-titled album in 2018.
