Waiting For That Day was a song performed and largely written by George Michael which was released on Epic Records in 1990.
The song was an acoustic-heavy, reflective single, released as an immediate follow-up to the comeback record, Praying For Time, which had gone to #1 in the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA and #6 in the UK singles chart. However, the corresponding album Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1, had also been released and therefore sales of the new single were unsurprisingly limited.
Waiting For That Day peaked at #23 in the UK in October 1990 and was followed by three more singles from the album, all of which reached a top position which was slightly lower than that of its predecessor.
Although George wrote it alone, his decision to use the line "you can't always get what you want" at the very end of the song meant a co-writer credit was given to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
