Seventeen Days is the third studio album by the American rock band 3 Doors Down. It was released on February 8, 2005, five years after the release of their first album, The Better Life. It is the band's first album to debut atop the Billboard 200, and received both gold and platinum certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on March 14, 2005. Its lead single, "Let Me Go", became the album's only song to enter the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 14. The album features a duet with Bob Seger on the single "Landing in London", and is the only 3 Doors Down studio album with Daniel Adair on drums, who left the group to join the Canadian rock band Nickelback in 2005.

Recording

The album's name comes from the band only having seventeen days off in between finishing up their Away from the Sun tour and returning to the studio to start pre-production on the recording process.
