Beautiful Day is a piece by the Irish rock band U2 . It is the first track on the 2000 album All That You Can't Leave Behind and was the main single on the album. The piece was an economic success for the band and is one of the band's successful hits in recent years. Like many tracks on the album, U2 uses the sound of the early years for this song. The sound of The Edge guitar in the piece led to some controversy in the band as it was too reminiscent of a bygone sound for some band members.
The song received positive reviews and became the band's fourth number one hit in the UK and the first number one hit in the Netherlands. In the USA the piece reached number 21, which was the highest chart position for the band since " Discothèque " in 1997.
