Clear as Day is the debut album from the season ten American Idol winner Scotty McCreery. The album was released on October 4, 2011 in the United States. Clear as Day also became the first debut album from an American Idol winner to reach number one since 2003.

Scotty McCreery began working on his album soon after he was crowned the winner of the tenth season of American Idol. McCreery described the album as having "some old country influences and elements" that he grew up with, such as Hank Williams, Conway Twitty and Merle Haggard, but "it also has a contemporary feel with fun up-tempo songs." He said the title track, "Clear as Day", is one of his favorites on the album and he loves the message behind the song. The album includes a cover of a song by Keith Urban, "Walkin’ the Country", released when he was in the band The Ranch.

The first single released from the album was "I Love You This Big".[9] It debuted and peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also peaked at number 15 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

The second single released from the album was "The Trouble with Girls", which premiered on radio on August 30, 2011, and released onto iTunes and Amazon.com on September 1, 2011. It debuted at number 84 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Reviews of Clear as Day have been largely mixed; Jerry Shriver of USA Today gave the album 2 stars out of 4, saying that the album was "strictly paint-by-numbers country, with some mildly interesting colors occasionally dabbed inside the lines." Rolling Stone critic Caryn Ganz also gave the album two stars out of five, stating that "his debut – a ho-hum jaunt through an America full of dog-eared Bibles, rugged pickup trucks and girls 'hot as July, sweet as sunshine' – works overtime playing up his wide-eyed charm."
