The Day You Went Away: The Best Of M2M is the last album and greatest hits compilation by Norwegian teen-pop band M2M, now disbanded.

The compilation includes all of their singles from their two studio albums Shades of Purple and The Big Room, as well as acoustic versions of some other songs. It also contains a Mandarin Chinese version of their hit "Pretty Boy" and a Spanish version of "Everything You Do". It also has three new songs, "Not To Me", "Is You", and "Wait For Me".

The liner notes include lyrics to the songs; however, there is a mistake in the lyrics for "Don't Say You Love Me". Instead of "...we're sitting there you start kissing me...", what is written is "we're sitting there you said you love me...". The written lyrics are from the Pokémon: The First Movie soundtrack version of the song, where the lyrics were changed to "you said you love me" to remove the reference to kissing, which it can be assumed, was deemed inappropriate, given the target audience of the film. However, the Shades of Purple album version of the song was the version included in the greatest hits album.
