"Bad Day All Week" is the debut single by English singer Sam Smith, released on 18 August 2008.[1][2][3]
In 2008, Smith had signed a deal with Venus & Mars Music, a small UK independent label.[3] They were given songs to record by songwriting team of Victoria Hemmings, William John Pearce and John Conlon, who previously performed together as Lovatux.[3] The first of Smith's recordings to see the light of the day would be "Bad Day All Week", a song which appeared as the B-side on Lovatux's 1996 single, "Something".[3] Ahead of its scheduled release as a single, the decision was made to create a series of dance and club mixes of the song.[3] The single was released in August 2008 with remixes by Kinky Roland and Per QX.[3]
A music video featuring Smith in school uniform was also released but the song failed to make much of an impact on the main charts.[3][4] However, the remixes gained some traction on a couple of club charts.[3] In 2010, Smith decided to end their association with Venus & Mars Music and walked away from the deal.[3] Because of this, their debut album Time Won't Wait wasn't released.[3] In 2015, the song was remixed by Adrian Bahil and released on The Lost Tapes – Remixed album by Kosmo Records.[5]
