Critical reception

Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet wrote that "Another Day" is "a very good song" and very similar to "Saturday Night".[2] AllMusic editor William Cooper described it as "irresistibly catchy".[3] Larry Flick from Billboard said it is "flying over the top with giddy kiddie flavors", noting that "the beats have breakneck energy, and the synths have a shiny, candy-coated flavor."[4] Ross Jones from The Guardian deemed the song "fabulous".[5] Music writer James Masterton commented in his weekly UK chart commentary, that "there is no denying that the two tracks use exactly the same baseline and have an almost identical annoying piano figure running throughout. Having said that, Another Day is in some ways the better record of the two, being more of a proper song rather than 'Saturday Night's sequence of lyrical set-pieces."[6]

A reviewer from Music Week wrote, "Take the bass and keyboards from Saturday Night and add a touch of Mungo Jerry's In The Summertime, and there you have it, the follow-up to a million seller. For those who liked Saturday Night, it is inevitably a disappointment; for those who didn't, it's better than you'd expect."[7] John Kilgo from The Network Forty stated that "here's a very poppy uptempo dance number that will explode—especially at night." He added that Whigfield's "unique vocals and high-energy groove are the perfect combination for a great follow-up to their hit, "Saturday Night"".[8]

Chart performance

"Another Day" was quite successful on the charts in Europe. It peaked at number three in both Denmark and Italy, and was a top 10 hit also in Finland, Ireland, Norway, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. In the latter, it peaked at number seven after five weeks at the UK Singles Chart,[9] where the song debuted at number 13 on 4 December 1994. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Another Day" reached number nine. Additionally, it was a top 20 hit in Germany and a top 30 hit in France and Iceland. Outside Europe, it also reached Top 30 in Canada, where the single made it to number 27. But on the RPM Dance/Urban chart, it hit number two. In the US, "Another Day" charted on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, peaking at number 21. In Zimbabwe, it was far more successful, reaching number five. The single was awarded with a silver record in the United Kingdom, with 200,000 singles sold.^{[citation needed]}

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Another Day" can be seen as a continuation of the video for "Saturday Night". In the beginning, Whigfield arrives at a restaurant where she is supposed to meet someone. The person never shows up and Whigfield are sitting all by herself, singing. A couple sitting next to her have an argument and the woman throws the contents of the glass in the man's face. Next, some scenes show Whigfield waiting for someone in a theater, while other scenes show her sitting in the stairs while people come and go. In the end, she drives by taxi to the hotel where she lives and packs her things. The picture of the man she kissed in the front of the mirror in the video of "Saturday Night" is placed on the bedside table in her room. Whigfield lets the picture fall to the floor and leaves the hotel room.[10] The video was published on YouTube in March 2013. It has amassed almost 3 million views as of September 2021.
