"Everyday" is a song by the British rock band Slade, released in 1974 as the second single from their fourth studio album, Old New Borrowed and Blue.
During the recording of the song, guitarist Dave Hill was abroad on his honeymoon so Lea played the guitar solo.
"[8] "Everyday" was released on 7" vinyl by Polydor Records in the UK, Ireland, across Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Japan.
[9][10] The B-side, "Good Time Gals", had also previously appeared as an album track on Old New Borrowed and Blue.
[11] In the UK, the band performed the song twice on the music show Top of The Pops (28 March and 11 April), and on Clunk Click.
[14] Upon its release as a single, Peter Jones of Record Mirror noted the "quite remarkable change of style" for Slade, trading in their "stomping, barnstorming, rabble-rousing" sound for a "gentle ballad".
He felt the song showed the "plaintive side" of Holder, though "the rasp has not vanished from [his] voice", and concluded, "This lull, this leaning on lilting rather than lambasting, is not only welcome – it's great stuff.
"[16] In a retrospective review of Old New Borrowed and Blue, Dave Thompson of AllMusic wrote, "'Everyday' held the secret of the band's future, a crowd-swaying singalong of such scarf-waving majesty that it might well be single-handedly responsible for every great record U2 has ever made".
