"Don't Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)" is an R&B song written by Dallas Austin, Willie James Baker, Derek Simmons, and rapper LL Cool J for Monica's debut studio album, Miss Thang (1995). It was produced by Austin and released as the album's lead single in the second quarter of 1995 (see 1995 in music) in the United States.
