Never Seen the Light of Day is the fourth studio album by Swedish band Mando Diao. The album was produced by Björn Olsson and engineered by Patrik Heikinpieti. It was recorded in 2007 while the band were on an exhaustive tour of the world. Frontman Björn Dixgård stated in a recent interview that the band was dissatisfied with their management and tired of the tediousness of the studios so they recorded the album independently in a small studio with producer Björn Olsson. The album was titled `Never Seen The Light Of Day` because the band believed that the album might not be released, and thus would not see the light of day.

The album was preceded by a single, If I Don`t Live Today, I Might Be Here Tomorrow, all around the world on 24 September 2007. The songs are said to be calmer and more sensitive than the band`s usual style. A limited edition of the album was released (on the same day as the regular edition) in a special digipak.

The cover for the album (and the accompanying single) bears a strong resemblance to the covers used by Morrissey and The Smiths for many of their releases.
