"Lonely Day" is the second single from the 2005 album Hypnotize by the band System of a Down. It was written by guitarist Daron Malakian, who also provides the track's lead vocals.

"Lonely Day" was criticized by Pitchfork Media for its lyrics, notably the fact that the song utilizes the double superlative "most loneliest."[1]

The song received a nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 49th annual Grammy Awards[2].

The song is featured in the 2007 film Disturbia, as well as the film's trailer.
