Another Day (U2 song)

"Another Day" was U2's first single release, and was released in 1980 following their EP, Three, and prior to their debut album, Boy. As it has not appeared on any album or other CD pressing, it is considered a rarity in U2's catalogue and almost wholly unknown to anyone but dedicated fans of the band.

Excluding "Electrical Storm," which has never been performed live, "Another Day" can be considered to be U2's least played single. Only five renditions at four concerts are known to have been played. However, it must be emphasized that "Another Day" dates from before the release of Boy and the majority of setlists from that era are unknown. It is probable that "Another Day" was performed more times in 1979 and the first half of 1980. Its last known performance occurred on 27 July 1980.

The B-side was an early demo of "Twilight," which was later re-recorded for its appearance on Boy and was regularly played live until 1984.
