"Just Another Day in Paradise" is the title of a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Phil Vassar that reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, becoming Vassar's first Number One as an artist. It was released in June 2000 as the second single from his self-titled debut album. It also peaked at #35 on the Billboard Hot 100 making it a minor crossover hit and is Vassar's highest peaking song on the chart. The song was written by Vassar and Craig Wiseman.

The song paints a vivid portrait of a couple raising a family and dealing with all the mundane domestic distractions, from sour milk and a broken washing machine to a stack of bills.

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling it "a celebration of the joys and challenges of the American family." She goes on to say that Vassar has a "strong, warm voice, and he does so much more than simply sing a song. He injects it with personality and emotion - and he truly brings it to life."

The music video was directed by Gerry Wenner and premiered in mid 2000.

"Just Another Day in Paradise" debuted at number 65 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of June 10, 2000.

This song was parodied by country parodist Cledus T. Judd on his album Cledus Envy under the title "Just Another Day in Parodies". Vassar makes a spoken cameo at the end of Judd's parody.
