The Big Day is the debut studio album by American rapper Chance the Rapper, released on July 26, 2019.[3] The album follows several mixtapes by the rapper including the reissue of his collaborative Merry Christmas Lil' Mama in 2017, and was his first solo project since Coloring Book in 2016.[4] The album was heavily influenced by Chance's marriage to his then wife.[5][6] The album was lauded by most critics, but certain aspects of the work found limited commercial success.[7][8] The album received widespread negative attention and backlash from fans on social media and other Internet communities citing inconsistencies of quality throughout the work.[9][10] The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, Chance's highest-charting entry to date.[11]

For the album, Chance worked with several songwriters including Darius Scott, Dwayne Verner, Jr., Greg Landfair, Nate Fox and Peter Wilkins.[12]
