Composition
According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Publishing Company Inc., "Have a Nice Day" is set in the time signature of common time written in the key of E Major with a "driving rock" tempo of 160 beats per minute. Jon Bon Jovi's vocal range in the song spans from B4-C♯6. The sheet music lists the musical style of the song as arena rock, hard rock, pop rock, and album rock. It features "trademark big Bon Jovi choruses and catchy hooks" and has a message that can be taken in different ways. It has also been described as 'defiant' and as containing a "propulsive blast of power chords, drum beats, and sneering vocals". The song's defiant message is intentionally discordant from its "smilely-face sounding" title, and its chorus "counsels renewed conviction in the face of setbacks, optimism against opposition, standing your moral ground regardless of the consequences".

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nor diminishes. But as it is certain there is a great difference betwixt the simple conception of the existence of an object, and the belief of it, and as this difference lies not in the parts or composition of the idea which we conceive; it follows, that it must lie in the manner in which we conceive it.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Since body and soul are radically different from one another and belong to different worlds, the destruction of the body cannot mean the destruction of the soul, any more than a musical composition can be destroyed when the instrument is destroyed.”
—Oscar Cullman. Immortality of the Soul or Resurrection of the Dead? The Witness of the New Testament, ch. 1, Epworth Press (1958)
