"Days of the Week" led off Shangri-La Dee Da in June 2001, the first single from Stone Temple Pilots' fifth album, and Dean DeLeo's music leans harder into pop than most of the band's earlier singles. Brendan O'Brien produced it and chipped in keyboards and percussion, Scott Weiland added keyboards of his own, and the whole thing bounces along with a bright power-pop grin. Underneath the bounce is something darker: Weiland wrote the words about the toll his heroin addiction was taking on his relationship with his second wife, Mary Forsberg.

It was a top-five hit on two Billboard charts, yet it never settled into the band's live show, and the last full performance came on November 3, 2001. The video splits the band into two versions of itself, one knocking on doors in white shirts and ties, the other drifting through space.
