Days Like These (Asia song)

Days Like These is a power ballad by the British rock band Asia, released as a single in 1990 from their album Then & Now. The song was written by Steve Jones and Andy Nye.

The track features a more polished and radio-friendly sound compared to Asia's earlier, progressive rock-leaning work. It features John Payne on lead vocals, who had recently replaced John Wetton. The song's lyrics express a longing for simple pleasures and a yearning for happiness amidst challenges.

"Days Like These" achieved moderate success upon its release, reaching the lower end of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It is considered by many Asia fans to be one of the stronger tracks from the Payne era of the band, showcasing his vocal capabilities and the band's shift towards a more accessible sound. The song remains a staple in some of Asia's live performances and has appeared on several compilation albums.
