"Everyday" is a song by American singer

Beats 1 in May 2016, as part of a countdown a week ahead of the release of the album. On January 10, 2017, the single was serviced to rhythmic contemporary playlists, and sent to contemporary hit radio on February 14, 2017,[1]
serving as the fourth and final single from the album.

"Everyday" is a woozy

sexual satisfaction
. The track received mixed reviews from music critics who appreciated its production, but they were neutral towards Future's feature. Commercially, "Everyday" charted in multiple territories, failing to enter the top 30 in any of them.

The song's accompanying music video was released on February 27, 2017, on

UK R&B Chart, and was later certified Platinum in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Brazil
.

Background and release

"Everyday" was written by

KIIS FM: "I knew I wanted to work with Future, but I didn't know if we could find the right song to do together because we're so different, but we found a dope vibe and it's very unique and exciting."[3]

Grande premiered "Everyday" on

Beats 1 on May 13, 2016, a week ahead of the release of Dangerous Woman.[4][5] The singer announced the song as the album's fourth single on January 3, 2017.[6] The single was serviced to rhythmic contemporary playlists in the US on January 10, 2017.[7] A challenge for Grande's fans was announced by the singer on Twitter on January 30, 2017, where they had to unlock the lyric video for "Everyday" by accumulating enough save and stream data for the song on Spotify. In her tweet, Grande provided a link to her website where fans could track the challenge's progress meter.[8] The lyric video was unlocked on Vevo on February 1, 2017.[9] Directed by Chris Marrs Piliero, it features Grande dancing and singing in front of a row of spotlights.[10][11][12][13][14] Future is absent from the video, though Grande is shown lip syncing his verse.[13][9] "Everyday" impacted contemporary hit radio in the US on February 14, 2017.[1]

Composition

"Everyday" is a woozy

synths.[18] A hollowed-out bridge sung by Grande features before each chorus.[22] The pounding EDM chorus is elevated by Future warbling the song's hook in a warped,[23] woozy style while Grande harmonizes around him.[22][24] As opposed to using her higher vocal register, Grande instead sings in a content sighing style.[25]

The song's lyrics are explicit and a paean to the ecstasy of sex.[4][25] Grande illustrates a steamy love affair and lathers on flirtation.[3][4] During his verse, Future raps about lavish vacations and late-night endeavors,[23] describing himself as a bad guy ideally suited to Grande's needs.[26]

Critical reception

In a positive response, Joey Nolfi of

Complex magazine writer Chris Mench said, "With Grande going for a more mature sound on this album, 'Everyday' actually seems to fit the aesthetic pretty well. It's dance beat and explicit lyrics seem ready to grab the attention of old fans as well as make an impact on the radio."[4]

In a less enthusiastic review, Nathan Wisnicki from Pretty Much Amazing was critical of Grande's "lack of interesting inflection", but felt Future's feature saved an otherwise "pretty generic song".

Pitchfork Media dismissed Future's repetition of the song's hook, and also said that without the rapper's verse "it would be immediately obvious that 'Everyday' is constructed atop a pile of hot fluff."[29] In a review of Dangerous Woman, Ross Scarano of Complex said "Everyday" and "Greedy" failed to match "the consistent highs" of Grande's 2014 album My Everything.[30] Chris Kelly of Fact magazine wrote that the song wasted Future's feature.[31] Rolling Stone's Christopher R. Weingarten derided the track as "something where Future sings a chorus that is one word", and cited it as an example of Grande being "prone to a schizophrenic sound and unfortunate sequencing".[32] Theon Weber of Spin regarded the track as a "rote 2016 obligation" and "executive-mandated bagginess".[33] Sputnikmusic viewed "Everyday" as "a real travesty", writing that "in addition to possessing awful lyrics, it is also simple to a fault."[34]

Commercial performance

After the release of

Mainstream Top 40 and Rhythmic charts, respectively. Similarly, it debuted at number 98 and reached a peak of number 54 the following week on the Canadian Hot 100

In Australia, "Everyday" peaked at number ninety-six on the

UK R&B Chart
where it attained a top-forty peak of number 35.
