Bad Here Day is the second track in Halo Wars: Original Soundtrack.

Overview

The track opens with a piano and synth notes in a serene melody, accompanied with twinkling effects. Vocals join in as the main melody, which is echoed by synth notes. The melody is taken over by strings in a repeat of the melody before ending with synth notes.

The soundtrack's bonus DVD includes an alternate version, titled Bad Here Day (Shield Interior Intro), featuring heavy percussive beats and a more upbeat melody.
