"Another Day" was U2's first single release, and was released in 1980 following their EP, "Three", and prior to their debut album, "Boy"."Another Day" was produced by Chas de Whalley and U2 at CBS London, December 1979. The single was only released in Ireland and since it did not appear on any album or other CD pressing until the 2008 reissue of "Boy", it was long considered a rarity in U2's catalogue and remained 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.
