"Every Morning" is a song by American rock band Sugar Ray, released as the lead single from their third studio album, 14:59 (1999). The track is an alternative rock and flamenco pop song that references Malo's " Suavecito" and Hugh Masekela's " Grazing in the Grass". Serviced to US radio in December 1998, "Every Morning" was released in Japan in January 1999 and in the United States two months later, making it Sugar Ray's first commercially available single in the US. [1]
"Every Morning" reached number one on both the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and the Canadian RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart, becoming the latter country's second-most-successful single of 1999. The song also reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 10 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the band's highest-charting single on both rankings. The track was ranked number 98 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 1999, Australia's largest annual music poll. [2]
"Every Morning" is an alternative rock [3] [4] [5] [6] and flamenco pop song. [7] It is written in common time with a key of A♭ major and proceeds at a moderate tempo, played mezzo-forte. The song has a chord progression of A♭–D♭–A♭–D♭–E♭5. [8] The chorus of the song references " Suavecito" by the Chicano music group Malo, as well as Hugh Masekela's 1968 hit " Grazing in the Grass". Lead vocalist Mark McGrath explained, "We referenced 'Suavecito' because growing up in California, you know, that was just like the low rider anthem. Any car show or swap meet you'd ever go by, you'd always hear that [song] and that just stuck in your mind." He added, "We actually came up with that part, and it was very similar to Malo's part. We were sort of imitating it, and then we said, 'Let's just leave it, we're gonna change it later.' It really makes the song – we think – so we just left it." [9]
