"Every Other Time" is a song by American pop band LFO. It was released on May 29, 2001, as the first single of their final album, Life Is Good (2001). The song reached number 44 on US Billboard Hot 100, number 24 on UK Singles Chart and number 18 on New Zealand Singles Chart.

Critical reception

Chuck Taylor of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that it "shapes its personality around the elements of a traditional live band: guitars, bass, percussion." He goes on to say that this track demonstrates "evolution, maintaining a clever chorus and some memorable instrumental hooks but, thankfully, shedding the gimmicky sing-song elements of those previous radio staples."^[1]
