"The Day" is a song by American electronica musician Moby, from his tenth studio album Destroyed (2011).
Moby talked about the track on his website blog, saying "'The Day' was written in a hotel room in Spain at dawn when I hadn't slept.
I wrote it on an acoustic guitar and recorded it on my phone, brought it home and re-recorded it with old broken down electronics that I have in my studio".
[citation needed] Moby says it was inspired by David Bowie and Brian Eno's production "circa Low and Heroes".
In an interview published on 18 May 2011 in the Belgian newspaper Le Soir, Moby said he was very embarrassed and deemed the release of "The Day" as a single an "error", since Farmer was disappointed, thinking "it was her song".
