"Everyday" is a song by American rapper MC Lyte, released on August 6, 1996 via EastWest Records, as the second single from her fifth studio album, Bad as I Wanna B. The track was produced by Jermaine Dupri and co-produced by Carl So-Lowe, with backing vocals by Xscape's Kandi Burruss. This single is based on a sample of "The Walk" by the funk rock group The Time, for which Prince, the composer of that song, is also credited on "Everyday".
Blending hip-hop and R&B influences, it showcases MC Lyte’s assertive lyrical style, addressing themes of self-respect and high expectations in relationships. "Everyday" is Lyte's third release as lead artist to chart on the UK Singles Charts, peaking at No. 81. Despite not having been commercially released in the United States, it peaked No. 44 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and No. 40 on the Billboard Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay.
