"Day Drunk" is a song recorded by Australian country music singer Morgan Evans, released on 8 June 2018 as the third single from his fourth EP Morgan Evans EP and second studio album Things That We Drink To . Evans told Taste of Country "I've never been the 'drinking song' guy, but this song came from a real place and is really more about spending a day with your person than it is about just going getting drunk. There's a reason why I love it so much and feel like I can sing it." [1] "Day Drunk" peaked at number 27 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The song was written by Evans, along with Lindy Robbins and Chris DeStefano, the latter of whom produced it.
