“Just Another Day” is a song Cuban singer-songwriter Jon Secada recorded for his eponymous debut studio album Jon Secada (1992). Secada and Miguel Morejon wrote the song, and SBK Records released it as the album’s lead single in March 1992. The subject of this pop-soul-and-Latin-influenced ballad is the protagonist’s deep desire to be with his lover and his inability to find happiness or contentment without them. Its music uses minor keys, piano melodies, and dramatic vocal performances, and a catchy hook serves as its foundation, “Just Another Day” combines a seductive, rhythmic cadence under Secada’s baritone-tenor vocal range that is enveloped by a simple song structure.
The song’s impact on radio, its emotional intensity, and its success in reaching diverse markets were acknowledged and celebrated by some critics. Kevin Layne directed the accompanying music video, which shows Secada using triumphant gestures and containing visual elements that mirror the musical progressions of music videos of the time. The video was nominated for Video of the Year at the 5th Annual Lo Nuestro Awards and Layne won Best Director at the 1993 Billboard Music Awards.
Just Another Day Lyrics (1992)
Oh-oh-oh (When you come home I breathe a little faster)
Every time we’re together, oh-oh
It’d never be the same (It’d never be the same)
If you’re not here
How can you stay away (How can you stay)
Away so long? (Away so long?)
Why can’t we stay together? Oh-oh
Just give me a reason. Give me a reason!
‘Cause I, I don’t want to say it’s
I don’t want to find another way
To make it through the day without you
I, I, I can’t resist
Trying to find exactly what I miss
It’s just another day without you
It’s just another day, oh-oh
Making the time
(Find the right lines) To make you stay forever
What do I have to tell you?
I’m just trying to hold on to something (Trying to hold on to something good)
Oh-oh
Give us a chance to make it, to make it (give us a chance to make it)
No, no, no
Don’t wanna hold on to never, no
I’m not that strong!
I’m not that strong!
I, I don’t want to say it’s
I don’t want to find another way
Make it through the day without you
No-oh!
I, I, I can’t resist
Trying to find exactly what I miss
It’s just another day without you
No-oh!
I, I, I
I, I, I
Ooh… why can’t you stay forever?
Just give me a reason, give me a reason!
‘Cause I, no! (I, I don’t want to say it’s)
(I don’t want to find another)
Don’t want to find a way (Way)
(Make it through the day without you)
Don’t want to make it through the day, no!
(I, I, I can’t resist)
Baby, no! (Trying to find exactly what I missed)
(It’s just another day without you)
I, I, I yeah!
I don’t want to find a way no! (I don’t want to find another way)
(Make it through the day without you)
No, no, no! No, no, no!
No, no, no! No, no, no! no, no, no (I, I can’t resist)
No, no, no! Oh yeah (Trying to find exactly what I missed)
(It’s just another day without you)
