It was released on February 8, 2005, five years after the release of their first album, ''[The Better Life](/source/The_Better_Life).'' It is the band's first album to debut atop the [''Billboard'' 200](/source/Billboard_200), and received both gold and platinum certifications by the [Recording Industry Association of America](/source/Recording_Industry_Association_of_America) (RIAA) on March 14, 2005.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&se=Seventeen+Days#search_section|title=Recording Industry Association of America |publisher=RIAA |access-date=September 12, 2024}}</ref> Its lead single, "[Let Me Go](/source/Let_Me_Go_(3_Doors_Down_song))", became the album's only song to enter the [''Billboard'' Hot 100](/source/Billboard_Hot_100), peaking at number 14. The album features a duet with [Bob Seger](/source/Bob_Seger) on the single "[Landing in London](/source/Landing_in_London)", and is the only 3 Doors Down studio album with [Daniel Adair](/source/Daniel_Adair) on drums, who left the group to join the Canadian rock band [Nickelback](/source/Nickelback) in 2005.

==Recording==
The album's name comes from the band only having seventeen days off in between finishing up their ''[Away from the Sun](/source/Away_from_the_Sun)'' tour and returning to the studio to start pre-production on the recording process.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080913221244/http://www.3doorsdown.com/bio.aspx] 3 doors down bio</ref>
