Background

"One of Those Days" was written by Kevin Briggs, Dwight Reynolds and Patrice Stewart for Whitney Houston's fifth studio album Just Whitney (2002). The Isley Brothers are also credited as writers as the song features a sample of their song "Between the Sheets" (1983). [1] In an interview with TMHEntertainment, Reynolds said that the song was not intentionally written for Houston. One day, while Reynolds was at Shek'speare's studio, The Music House, Houston and her husband Bobby Brown visited them. At that time, Shek'speare had a few instrumental tracks put up, and according to Reynolds, "the vibe was set" immediately. [2] Shek'speare and Reynolds started discussing the ideas for the songs; Houston also contributed her views and ideas, and rejected the ones that she felt did not suit her. [2] Shek'speare and Reynolds penned three songs that day, two of which are featured on the album, "One of Those Days" and "Dear John Letter". [2] The song was produced by Briggs and was recorded at Atlanta Premier Recordings, Atlanta, by Ben Briggs III, and was mixed by Kevin "KD" Davis. [1]

Release

The song was released as the second single from the album in many countries, except the United Kingdom, [3] following the under-performance and lackluster response to the lead single "Whatchulookinat". [4] In the US, it was sent to urban, rhythmic and mainstream radios [4] on October 28, 2002. [5] A CD single was released the next day. [6] In Australia, a double A-side CD single containing "One of Those Days" and "Whatchulookinat" was released on November 25, 2002. [7] Arista released CD and CD maxi singles in Belgium on December 11, 2002. [8] The remix featuring Nelly and its instrumental were issued as a CD single in the US. [9] Another remix by Almighty Records, titled "One of Those Days (Almighty Remix)", was made available through the compilation Almighty Downunder, Volume 2. [10]

Composition

"One of Those Days" is a mid-tempo R&B song [11] with a "slight retro feel" to it. [13] Chuck Taylor of Billboard classified the song as a "groovy, hip-swaying composition". [12] The song's hook samples the melody from The Isley Brothers' 1983 song "Between the Sheets". [14] As Houston begins the first verse, she declares her stress: "This is just for me [...] Got to take time out [...] You don't know what I'm going through." [15] She then sings about getting away from it, [16] [17] by indulging in activities like a manicure, pedicure [18] and by having a "late-night snack, a bubble bathe and a massage". [19] Throughout the song, she sings over a "warm bed of beats and horns". [20] Writing for Entertainment Tonight, Tim Jaramillo commented that the song is a "smoky track with a feel-good, chilled-out vibe". [21] Dan LeRoy of NJ Star Ledger observed that the song sounded like an outtake from Brandy Norwood's debut album, [22] while New York Daily News compared it to Houston's 1999 song "It's Not Right but It's Okay". [15] An official remix of the song features rapped verses from Nelly, which according to MTV News staffs has a reggae feel. [23]

Critical reception

"One of Those Days" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Sean Daly of The Washington Post commented that the song was "likably [ sic ] bouncy". [24] Craig Seymour of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution called the song a "breezy girls'-night-out" cut. [25] Writer for Blues & Soul wrote that the song "is an excellent slice of soulful mid-beat head nod R&B". They also commended the sampling of "Between the Sheets", noting that it is "effective". [11] Ernest Hardy of LA Weekly had different opinions of the song. Although he deemed it an "underrated single" at first [26] and wrote that it "leaps beyond its work-sucks-the-rent's-late-I-need-a-date griping into the realm of existential letting", [26] he later commented that the song is "grounded in retort". [26] Chuck Taylor of Billboard remarked that the song marks a "triumphant return of one of the great singers, who delivers the goods in glorious voice." [12] He further commented that the production of the song would be able to convince her "pop fans", and also praised the Isley Brothers sampling. [12] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine commented that the song could have been titled "How Whitney Got Her Groove Back". He noted that the "smooth" track allows Houston to offer a restrained delivery of her vocals. [20]

Keysha Davis of BBC Music called the sampling of "Between the Sheets" as "clever". [13] Nakesa Mumbi Moody, of the Associated Press, wrote it was "sexy" and "dreamy". [14] Writing for The Boston Globe , Joan Anderman called it a "breezy" track with a "disturbingly trite" theme. [18] The German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel , in their review for "One of Those Days" called the song "schmaltzy" and wrote that it could have been done in the 1980s. [27] Jimmy Draper of San Francisco Bay Guardian noted that "the song seems so anticlimactic in comparison to the real-life pot". [28] Jon Caramanica of Rolling Stone called the track "creaky and unconvincing". [29] Entertainment Weekly gave the remix single a D rating and commented negatively that "this chaotic mess isn't likely to find an enthusiastic audience" as the producer "laid a random Nelly verse and some whistle beats on top of Houston's vocals. It's as if someone opened the door between two rooms and cranked warring stereos". [30] Following Houston's death in 2012, Entertainment Weekly published a list of Houston's 25 best songs and ranked "One of Those Days" at number 19; they noted that it was "an underrated single off an underrated album". They further commented that "Whitney gave women of the world an instruction manual for pampering themselves in the Sex and the City era". [31]
