"Everyday" is a song by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released as the third and final single from their ninth album, Liberator (1993). The track dates to 1987, with OMD co-founder Paul Humphreys – who left the group two years later – receiving a co-writing credit.[1] "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.[2]
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."[3] In a retrospective article, Classic Pops Wyndham Wallace likened the track to a "horrifying" Stock Aitken Waterman pastiche.[4] OMD frontman Andy McCluskey conceded, "Sadly it wasn't one of our better songs."[5]
