"Just Another Day..." peaked at no. 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the week of April 2, 1994, and remained on the chart for 11 weeks.
The song recounts a seemingly average day in Latifah's neighborhood, which she refers to as the "hood". While Latifah's neighborhood may be dangerous, with stray bullets and the presence of police, Latifah is proud of where she is from and asserts that her neighborhood will be ok regardless of the what happens. The first line of the first verse ("well it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood") is a play on the children's television show song, "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
