"Days Go By" introduced British electronic outfit Dirty Vegas in 2001 as their debut single, and the following year it led off their self-titled album. Steve Smith wrote it with Victoria Horn and produced it with Ben Harris and Paul Harris: house music with a wistful streak, built for the hour when the club lights come up.
Britain gave it a modest first run, stopping at No. 27, but America found it through a TV ad for the 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse. That spot made it a US radio hit in mid-2002, lifted it to No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won it the Grammy for Best Dance Recording in 2003. Back home it re-entered at No. 16 and topped the UK dance chart, and it reached No. 6 in Canada.
