"She Makes My Day" is a song by English singer-songwriter Robert Palmer, which was released in 1988 as the third single from his ninth studio album Heavy Nova.

"[6] "She Makes My Day" was released by EMI on 7" vinyl in the UK, Europe, Australia and the US.

[8] Upon release, Billboard listed the song as a recommended single under the "Pop" category and described it as a "lilting, easy-paced rock ballad".

[9] James Masterton, in his 2015 book The Top 40 Annual 1988, described the song as a "smouldering Sinatra-esque slow jazz single".

[10] In a retrospective review of Heavy Nova, Terry Staunton of Record Collector believed the song was an "intricately layered ballad" and "arguably the sweetest few minutes in his entire catalogue".
