The name of their album was "Oh, What a Life". This 3 minutes and 14 seconds track is an indie folk and indie rock song which has its own free Best Day of My Life piano sheets.
Band member Zac Barnett said that, while they were experimenting with various instruments, they stumbled upon a melody from which they created "Best Day of My Life".
Incorporating percussion elements and even banjo or mandolin, the song was originally started by Zac and James.
When they showed the track to the rest of the band, they created the verses and added the specific chorus for it. The original song was completely changed, the idea evolved from the acoustic guitars that Zac was playing around with.
The chorus incorporates specific rock elements from the likes of Buddy Holly, Elton John and David Bowie. The critics viewed the song pretty well, praising it for its addictive hook and the banjo elements. It was predicted to be a success in the pop music. The pop-punk style that the song reminds of was similar to that of Imagine Dragons.
