History
Feeder had already enjoyed a successful 2001 by the time "Just a Day" was released as a stand-alone single in December of that year. "Buck Rogers" had given them their first top 10 single and had then repeated the success with the attendant album Echo Park.
"Just a Day" stayed in the UK top 20 for four uninterrupted weeks and featured on "Seven Days in the Sun", as a b-side after being originally planned for their 1999 album Yesterday Went Too Soon. It later was included on The Singles in 2006, making it the first time the radio edit version of the track was on an album. The song describes the concept of waking up in the morning after heavy drinking the night before, while realizing the person has messed up a relationship in the process.
The single was also released as an orange vinyl, with a Brian Serper mix of the main track as its A-side although the differences are hardly noticeable.
The single is especially notable as it was released as an EP, Just a Day E.P.. This makes the release Feeder's sixth EP.

“The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
