"Thursday" is a song by English singer-songwriter Jess Glynne. It was released through Atlantic on 11 October 2018 as the third single from her second studio album, Always In Between (2018). The song was written by Jess Glynne, Ed Sheeran and Steve Mac.
"Thursday" was written by Jess Glynne, Ed Sheeran and Steve Mac. It was the second song Glynne and Mac had worked together on after the former's 2015 single "Take Me Home". In an interview with Billboard, Glynne spoke about the writing process. "We spoke about the highs and lows of being famous and doing the job that we do. It was really cool because for me as an artist, I don't really work with that many artists, and obviously you never know how it is for someone else and you feel like you don't know whether that's just you."[2]
Reviewing Always In Between for Rolling Stone, Maura Johnston wrote that the track "gently blooms from acoustic balladry into starlit pop anthem", praising the singer's vocal and expressive abilities, stating that "Glynne’s voice growing into assuredness as the self-affirmations pile up high enough to give even the most hard-hearted listener a bit of a boost".[3] Graeme Virtue of The Guardian described the song as a "sombre ode to self-care", stylistically similar to Dido's music.[4]
The Arts Desk's writer Katie Colombus described the song as "a slower song with a more heartfelt lyrical", talking about "wanting to feel beautiful rather than insecure".[5]
The official music video for "Thursday" was uploaded to Glynne's own YouTube channel on 15 November 2018 and was directed by Joe Connor.[6]
