Days Like These (Asia song)


"Days Like These" is a song by British rock band Asia, issued as a 7" single on 17 August 1990 in Europe by Geffen Records. It had previously appeared on their compilation album Then & Now, released three days before, while its B-side, "Voice of America", was derived from the third studio album, Astra. In the United States, two promotion only CD singles were also available.
"Days Like These" was written by Steve Jones, the past leader for The Unforgiven, and produced/engineered by Frank Wolf. It features Steve Lukather on guitar.
In contrast to the rest of the new songs from Then & Now, "Days Like These" has been well-received. On AllMusic, Tom Demalon has noted that it "nearly matches the band's strong debut material". An official music video was shot for the song and it gained considerable airplay during the summer of 1990 and was a number two hit on the Mainstream Rock chart. Despite this, the single peaked at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the last chart entry for Asia in the United States.
