[edit] Other versions

[edit] 2004 Pre-release

The new album that was to be Have A Nice Day was originally recorded in the summer of 2004, supposed ready for release for early 2005. However, due to various reasons and debates by the band and its record company, the album was pushed back. The band were to write and record more songs and also removed some from the original track list, and in the process, altered existing album tracks.

The pre-release version of the album contains a slightly different tracklist and includes alternate versions of songs that appeared on the final album. Some contain alternate lyrics and/or slightly different or additional arrangements. The album also had a rougher sound mix.

  1. "Have A Nice Day"
  2. "Welcome To Wherever You Are"
  3. "I Want to be Loved"
  4. "Complicated"
  5. "Bells of Freedom"
  6. "Who Says You Can't Go Home"
  7. "Nothing"
  8. "These Open Arms"
  9. "Last Man Standing"
  10. "Unbreakable"
  11. "I Am"
  12. "Who Says You Can't Go Home" (Duet with Jennifer Nettles)

Various tracks from the pre-released album have been leaked onto the Internet and copies of the entire pre-release album exist in circulation amongst traders. One notable track removed from the final Have A Nice Day album is "Nothing". It was supposedly cut from the album due to its similarity to "I Am", which remained on the album. American Idol 2005 runner-up Bo Bice later re-recorded the song, entitled "Nothing Without You", for his debut album, The Real Thing.

Another cut from the album was a duet version of "Who Says You Can't Go Home" with Keith Urban, supposedly because it was considered Jon Bon Jovi and Urban's voices were too similar, and therefore difficult to differentiate between.

"These Open Arms" and "Unbreakable" were also removed from the original track list, but were later included as bonus tracks on the album in certain territories. "These Open Arms" was released as a track for the Japanese version, but it was released in the US to be sung by Clay Aiken on A Thousand Different Ways.

[edit] Bonus DVD: Live from Atlantic City

Alongside the standard edition of the album, a bonus edition was released which included a 5-track live DVD. The live footage was recorded during a concert in Atlantic City in November 2004 to promote the release of the box set 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong. All of the songs on the DVD are from the box set with the exception of "Everyday", which is from Bounce:

  1. "Everyday"
  2. "Miss Fourth of July"
  3. "I Get a Rush"
  4. "These Arms Are Open All Night"
  5. "The Radio Saved My Life Tonight"

The DVD also contains a documentary about the making of Have a Nice Day and a photo gallery.
