"Everyday" is a song by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released in 1993 as the third and final single from their ninth album, Liberator (1993). Co-founder Paul Humphreys, who had left the group four years prior, is credited as a co-writer. "Everyday" was the only single from Liberator to miss the UK top 25, charting at number 59. The accompanying music video features Sara Cox, who would later be known as a BBC Radio DJ. ^[1]

Reception

Alan Jones of Music Week scored the single three-out-of-five, writing, "Jaunty, polished pop without a soul. Oh, for the more angst-ridden OMD of old. Still, it's the kind of song that will appeal to radio — very 'up' and sufficiently commercial to make the usual OMD splash." ^[2] In a retrospective article, Classic Pop's Wyndham Wallace likened the track to a "horrifying" Stock Aitken Waterman pastiche. ^[3] OMD frontman Andy McCluskey conceded, "Sadly it wasn't one of our better songs." ^[4]
