The group worked on the song for several days in the studio, but were unable to make much progress with it. The song's genesis came from a chord sequence that lead vocalist Bono composed and that guitarist the Edge subsequently adapted. In its earliest permutation, "Beautiful Day" was a different song called "Always", which was later released as a B-side. "Beautiful Day" originated from recording sessions held by U2 in a small room at Hanover Quay Studio in Dublin in the winter of 1999. The group has played "Beautiful Day" at every one of their concerts since the song's live debut on the Elevation Tour in 2001. In 2001, the song won three Grammy Awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony. The song peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, the band's highest position since " Discothèque" in 1997. It also topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Finland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Scotland and Spain and reached the top 10 in Austria, Belgium, Germany, New Zealand, Sweden and Switzerland. The song received positive reviews, and it became the band's 14th number-one single in their native Ireland, fourth number-one in the United Kingdom, and their first number-one in the Netherlands. The band's lead vocalist Bono explained that the upbeat track is about losing everything but still finding joy in what one has. The tone of the Edge's guitar was a subject of debate among the band members, as they disagreed on whether he should use a sound similar to that from their early career in the 1980s. Like many tracks from All That You Can't Leave Behind, "Beautiful Day" harkens back to the group's past sound. The song was a commercial success, helping launch the album to multi-platinum status, and is one of U2's biggest hits to date. It is the first track on their tenth studio album, All That You Can't Leave Behind (2000), and was released as the album's lead single on 9 October 2000. UK / CD single - £8.99, USD 10.79, € 10."
