«Alien Days» (с англ. — «Чуждые дни») — первый выпущенный сингл со студийного альбома MGMT[1][2] музыкальной группы MGMT. Впервые группа исполнила композицию в ходе своего тура по Южной Америке, в рамках концерта в Боготе (Колумбия)[3]. Сингл был выпущен на аудиокассете, что вызвало резонанс среди поклонников группы и музыкальных журналистов, т.к в настоящее время данный формат не популярен и не пользуется спросом[4][5][6]. 11 марта было подвержено, что композиция выпустится на данном формате и будет доступна для продажи 20 апреля 2013 года[7]. На аудиокассете содержалась одноименная композиция и би-сайд Message 7 from Hearty White.
