Have a Nice Day is the sixth studio album by the Swedish pop duo Roxette, released on February 22, 1999. It marked a shift in their sound, incorporating more electronica and modern production techniques alongside their signature pop-rock melodies.
The album was a commercial success, reaching the top of the charts in several European countries, including Sweden and Germany. It spawned several singles, including "Wish I Could Fly," which became a major hit, and "Anyone," a ballad that showcased Marie Fredriksson's vocal prowess. Other notable tracks include "Stars" and "Salvation."
Have a Nice Day was produced by Roxette's longtime collaborator Clarence Öfwerman, along with Michael Ilbert and Anders Glenmark. The album's lyrics explore themes of love, loss, and resilience, reflecting a more mature and introspective perspective compared to some of their earlier work.
Although generally well-received by critics, some reviewers noted the departure from Roxette's established sound, while others praised the band's willingness to experiment and evolve. Have a Nice Day remains a significant entry in Roxette's discography, representing a period of reinvention and continued success. The album also featured artwork that moved away from their typical photographic approach and incorporated more graphical elements.
