Daniel Powter released his debut album, I'm Your Betty, in 2000. The album, limited to a very small print, contains ten songs, two of which—"More Than I" and "Negative Fashion"—were featured on the television show Higher Ground. Powter has a music publishing deal with BMG Music Publishing for France.
Daniel Powter's first piano pop single, "Bad Day," debuted not in his home country of Canada, but rather in Europe in mid-2005. It was chosen by Warner Brothers as a submission for commercial production and was subsequently chosen by Coca-Cola as the theme song for an ad campaign in Europe. Additionally, "Bad Day" is currently being used extensively by American Idol in its fifth season. Powter sang the song live at the end of the penulimate show of that season. The song achieved heavy airplay in most European countries, and made it as high as number three on the overall European airplay chart. It did best in Germany, where it peaked at number one in national airplay, Ireland where it peaked at #1 on the Singles Chart, and in the UK, where it peaked at number two in the singles chart and stayed in the top 10 for 13 weeks. In the United States the song peaked at number 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 seven weeks after it was released. In Australia, it peaked at number three. The song reached top five in Canada and is now a top 10 hit at Adult Top 40 radio. It was fifth place in the British Record of the Year 2005.
On July 2, 2005, Powter performed at the Berlin installment of Live 8, a simultaneous group of concerts in nine countries intended to raise awareness of poverty in Africa and put pressure on world leaders for aid.
On April 1, 2006, he was named the best new artist at the Canadian Juno Awards.
In March 2008, a song by Japanese singer Haru featuring Powter, "Find My Way", was released. In September, Powter released his third album, Under the Radar.
Powter also performed piano on tracks for what was scheduled to be Marcy Playground frontman John Wozniak's solo album, Leaving Wonderland...in a fit of rage, but the album will now be released under the band's name. Powter will still be given credit for his contributions to the album, particularly the album's single "Good Times".

I won't see you tonight so I can keep from going insane
But I don't know enough
I get some kinda lazy day
Hey now
I've been fabulous through to fight my town a name
I'll be stooped tomorrow if I don't leave as them both the same
I get some kinda lazy day
Hey now
Cause it's hard for me to lose, in my life I've found only time will tell how to figure out
How we can, baby, how we can do a one night stand
Yeah
And it's hard for me to lose in my life,
I've found outside your skin right near the fire
How we can baby, how we can change and feel alright
I'm a little used to wondering outside the rain
You can leave me tomorrow if it suits you just the same
But I don't know enough
I need someone who leaves the day
Hey, yeah
Cause it's hard for me to lose, in my life
I've found only time will tell how to figure out

Oh my god I spent so much time finding this song. I listened to it a few years ago.
Its melody just randomly popped up in my head one day and all I remember is that this song somehow relates to piano and is kinda old.
So I searched on youtube and google “old piano dream song”, “cheerful piano theme”, “piano childhood dream song” or some things like that since I have forgot the lyrics already.
Fortunately, when I was about to give up, all of sudden I remember one of its lyrics “I don’t know enough I get...”
Thanks to that, I have finally been here.
Good song btw.
