"Day by Day" comes off Nervous Night, the Hooters' second album, from 1985, and it was a three-way job: band members Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman wrote it with Rick Chertoff, who produced it too, while William Wittman recorded it with John Agnello and handled the mix.
It became the album's third single in December 1985 and took the long way up. Pop stations began adding it late that year, rock radio followed, a video went to MTV, and by February 1986 it had climbed to number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100, the highest any Hooters song ever got there, and number 3 on the Top Rock Tracks chart.
