"Better Days (And the Bottom Drops Out)" is the debut single of American music group Citizen King from their second studio album, Mobile Estates (1999), as the second track.[2] It was first released to rock radio on January 26, 1999, and was given a commercial release later the same year. The song peaked at number 25 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 20 on Canada's RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart in August 1999. Citizen King did not release another single that replicated the success of "Better Days", making them a one-hit wonder.[3]
