Have a Nice Day is Bon Jovi's ninth studio album. The album has sold 4,500,000 copies worldwide and has gone platinum in the USA and several other countries. The album produced the hit singles "Have A Nice Day" and "Who Says You Can't Go Home", as well as the internationally-released single "Welcome To Wherever You Are"."
