Have a Nice Day is the ninth studio album by American rock band Bon Jovi, released in September 2005. Produced by John Shanks, the album was recorded at Sanctuary Sound II in New Jersey, and Ocean Way Recording in Hollywood, California.

Have A Nice Day was originally recorded in the summer of 2004 and planned for release in early 2005. However, due to misunderstandings between the band and its record company, the album was delayed. The band wanted to write and record more songs, remove others from the original track list, and in the process, altered existing album tracks.

Have A Nice Day ranked number one in its debut, in 15 countries. The album also ranked No.2 in both the US and UK. In the US, it sold over 202,000 copies in the first week,[6] making it Bon Jovi's best first-week sales in the band's history at that time. The album was certified platinum by the RIAA.[7]

The album produced the hit singles "Have a Nice Day" and "Who Says You Can't Go Home". Have a Nice Day has mostly received mixed reviews by music critics. It was commonly commented that Jon Bon Jovi was "stretching" his lyrical abilities.[1][3]
