Just Another Day in Paradise is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Bertie Higgins, released in 1982.

Singles from the album include the title track, the Top 10 single "Key Largo" and "Casablanca", both tributes to the 1942 film of the same name.

"Casablanca" was recorded by Japanese singer Hiromi Go in the same year and reached No. 2 on the Japanese chart. Higgins' original version and album also achieved commercial success, and was the second best-selling album of 1982 by a Western artist in Japan's official hit parade, Oricon.[2]
