When the Sun Goes Down is the eighth studio album by American country music artist Kenny Chesney. It was released on February 3, 2004 by BNA Records. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling over 550,000 copies in its first week.

The album produced six singles with "There Goes My Life", the title track (a duet with Uncle Kracker), "I Go Back", "The Woman with You", "Anything but Mine", and "Keg in the Closet" all of which charted in the Top 10 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. "There Goes My Life", the title track, and "Anything but Mine" all reached number one, "I Go Back" and "The Woman with You" both peaked at number 2, and "Keg in the Closet" went to number 6. The title track is also Uncle Kracker's first country chart entry.

Also included on this album is the song "Some People Change", which was later recorded by American country music duo Montgomery Gentry as the title track to their 2006 album of the same name. Their version was released as a single and became a Top 10 hit for them that year.
