"Seven Days in the Sun" was Feeder's second single from their Echo Park album. It was released in April 2001 and reached #14 in the UK charts.

The music video for the song featured band members Grant Nicholas, Taka Hirose, and the late Jon Lee on a beach, implementing various methods of reeling in some girls. Grant dresses up as a bike salesman, and gets the girls' passports in exchange for bicycles, Taka, a waiter in order to "demonstrate" his cooking skills, and Jon, in drag, possibly to show them his feminine side. However, it is only Taka that succeeds to impress. Lyrically, the song also matches the theme in it's video with that being holiday romances.

The track also appeared on the popular GTA 3 a-spec game.

The video appeared in the "Indie 500" on VH2 in 2004 at #407.[1] The chart was a rundown of the channels top 500 indie tracks of all time.

CD1 of the single features the popular "Just a Day", which was later released as a single itself.
