Content

"8th Day" is a traditional-leaning country song with lyrics that celebrate farmers and country girls.[3] Inspired by the biblical passage outlining what God created on the first days of existence,[3] the song "pays homage to strong, confident and sometimes-complicated women who were finely crafted to be in this world."[4] Its celebratory nature has been compared to that of Brody's first chart-topper, "Canadian Girls" (2012).[3]

Release and promotion

"8th Day" was released to radio on November 1, 2017.[1] The following week, November 8, was dubbed "National Country Girls Day."[5] Fans were encouraged to share stories of the country girls in their life to social media using the pseudo-holiday as a hashtag as part of a week-long promotional campaign to win a signed poster from Brody.[4]

Charts

"8th Day" reached number one on the Canada Country chart dated March 3, 2018.[6] This earned Brody his third number one on the chart, and first since "Bounty" reached the summit in 2013.
