And we were so excited," Zak tells ABC News Radio. "We were out on tour and we were in the theaters going to see a film, and the trailer for Delivery Man came on.

Unfortunately, the band never got to hear their song in the trailer in an actual movie theater, but it wasn't for lack of trying.

"When we were writing it.once we had a skeleton of the song, I remember we would turn the volume down on the trailer, and play the song behind the trailer online. "We all grew up reading the book, so I think the book definitely influenced all of our lives in a great way, but the film is also really amazing too," he explains. In fact, Zak says that they so wanted to evoke the feeling of the story that while they were writing it, they literally imagined it as the theme song to the 2009 movie version of Where the Wild Things Are. Speaking about what inspired the song, American Authors frontman Zak Barnett tells ABC News Radio that the band wanted to "take the imagery from the book and the film Where the Wild Things Are." He explains, "The idea behind it is, no matter what's going around you in the world, whether it's work or family or school or just the craziness that's going on in every day life, it's about escaping and creating your own dream world to create your own best day." Fittingly for a band called American Authors, the idea for "Best Day of My Life" came from an actual American author: the late Maurice Sendak, who wrote Where the Wild Things Are.
