The single reached number 27 on the Dutch Top 40, number 34 on the Dutch Single Top 100, number 70 on the UK Singles Chart, number 12 on the UK Dance Singles Chart and number 7 on the UK Independent Singles Chart.[4][5][6]

Van Buuren also created a mash-up of "Yet Another Day" with Tiësto's "Suburban Train", known as "Yet Another Suburban Train" or "Another Suburban Train".[7]

Background

"Yet Another Day" was one of van Buuren's early vocal trance singles and was released through several labels, including Armind in the Netherlands, Nebula in the United Kingdom and Ultra Records in the United States.[3] A digital edition of the single is listed by Apple Music as a 16-track release issued by Armada Music.[8]

The lyrics of the song are dedicated to one of Wilson's friends who committed suicide. He declared: "I wrote this for a school friend who killed himself. I tried to imagine what he must have been thinking to do such a thing. Was he in need of a better life? And dying to see another day? I tried to get inside a suicidal mind and write from that perspective, if that is possible."[9]

Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "Yet Another Day" was released in 2002.[10] It features Ray Wilson. He commits suicide by exhibiting himself under the sunlight to burn his clothers. Then, he walks in the street surrounded by flames. He ends up dying next to a car driven by Armin van Buuren.
