The song was also released alongside "The Nights" in The Days / Nights EP.[3]

Robbie Williams' vocals were generally praised.

Upon release, "The Days" received generally mixed to positive reviews from critics and fans alike. While critics praised its catchy beat, Williams' vocals and lyrics, it was also criticised for being similar to "Hey Brother"[citation needed].

"The Days" became Williams' first charting single, albeit as an uncredited artist, in the United States since "Angels" in 1999.

Lyric video

An official lyric video was also released on YouTube by the official Avicii VEVO channel.[4] In the video, an artist (later confirmed as INO[5]), spray-paints the lyrics of "The Days" in black against a white wall. Near the end of the video, a pan-out reveals the lyrics creating a portrait of Avicii, which is subsequently covered with splashes of coloured paint by the artist.[6]
