The first single, " Nasty", was announced on the band's Instagram and Facebook pages on 29 December 2014. Howlett explained that "we did a gig in Ibiza, and I’m not a great fan of the place, but it isn’t an attack on the island, it’s an attack on these mindless fucking jokers that arrive in their Learjets, pull a USB stick out of their pockets, plug it in and wave their hands in the air to a pre-programmed mix". The song "Ibiza" (featuring Sleaford Mods) is a critique of the superstar DJ culture.
The track also includes additional drumming performance provided by the Switzerland-based drum corps, Top Secret Drum Corps. Howlett got an idea for a track and asked for the riff's use during the production, with him finding the results good enough to serve as an album opener. In an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music, Howlett mentioned that the idea of the track came about when one of his friends, Olly Burden, had presented Howlett with a guitar riff he had made, which would eventually serve as the main basis for the track. The album's title track was the last track to be produced for the album. This created a degree of friction although Flint noted that "four years ago we sat down and talked about where the next album was gonna go, and we knew we had to bust out the most ‘band’ album we could create". Unlike previous efforts The Day Is My Enemy became a band-album where Flint and Maxim worked in tandem with Howlett. The entire recording process took almost six years taking in a number of studios and a few restarts to establish that "angry, energetic sound". Howlett found that "violent is the word that keeps on coming up" when describing the album. The album was written and recorded largely while on tour, in various hotel rooms around the world, on flights, at the Prodigy's private studio at Tileyard Studios as well as mixed at SARM. Howlett explained that this was because he had a hard time imagining it working as an album title, and instead settled on making that the title of one of the album tracks. The second working title of the album was Rebel Radio until it underwent another change. On 2 July 2014, the Prodigy announced that the album was to be re-introduced with a brand new name.

On, the tentative album title was revealed as How to Steal a Jetfighter.
Liam Howlett had reaffirmed that the new album would be "darker" in contrast to their previous releases. The first two of these tracks were "A.W.O.L." and "Dogbite", with 2012 yielding a new track called "Jetfighter". The first known existence of new material from the Prodigy came in 2011 when the band debuted new tracks at their live performances. ĭue to a general lack of interest in albums and the time spent in making them, The Day Is My Enemy was initially speculated by the band to be their last album as they would shift towards releasing EPs, however the band would sign a worldwide record publishing deal with BMG Rights Management in September 2017, and released a follow-up album No Tourists, in 2018. The album title is a reference to the Cole Porter song " All Through the Night", in particular its lyrics "the day is my enemy, the night my friend", although it is the Ella Fitzgerald version that first inspired the title track. Recorded across a timespan of six years, the album marks the first time that band members Maxim and Keith Flint have been actively involved in the songwriting process. It was released on 30 March 2015 by record labels Take Me to the Hospital/ Cooking Vinyl in the UK and Three Six Zero Music/ Warner Bros.
The Day Is My Enemy is the sixth studio album by English electronic music group the Prodigy.
