"Seven Whole Days" is the fourth single from Toni Braxton's self-titled debut album, Toni Braxton (1993). The track describes a romance that was fading fast due to:

Seven whole days
And not a word from you
And seven whole nights
And I'm just about through
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you
I'd rather be on my own
Yes on my own

[edit] Chart performance

As the single was only commercially released outside the United States, where it went for airplay only in October 1993, it was ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, and only managed to chart on the Hot 100 Airplay at number forty-eight in early March 1994. Nevertheless, it successfully topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay in late January 1994. The video was shot while Braxton was on tour and her four sisters are featured as background singers.
