"Each Time" is the first single released by English pop group East 17 under the name E-17. It was issued as the lead single from their fourth studio album, Resurrection (1998), on 2 November 1998. The song marked a stylistic change for the band following their first split, the departure of member Tony Mortimer, and a change of record labels. "Each Time" became the band's final top-10 hit in the United Kingdom, debuting and peaking at number two on the UK Singles Chart. It was their final chart hit in most other countries, including Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden, and Switzerland.
Composition
The album version of "Each Time" is three minutes and forty-seven seconds,{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/resurrection-mw0001461369|title=E-17 – Resurrection|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=10 September 2020}} but the single version is extended to four minutes and one second. The song diverts from the band's established pop sound in favor of an R&B style in the vein of Stevie Wonder's music from the 1970s.{{cite magazine|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-and-Media/90s/1998/MM-1998-10-31.pdf|title=Airplay – Airborne|magazine=Music & Media|volume=15|issue=44|page=18|date=31 October 1998|access-date=10 September 2020}}
Critical reception
Music & Media magazine wrote that the band's new R&B sound fit them "surprisingly well". In Oxfordshire, Fox FM head of music Stuart Davies also agreed that the band's new style suited them well and called the song "excellent".
Chart performance
The single debuted at number two on the UK Singles Chart on 8 November 1998 and remained on the chart for 15 nonconsecutive weeks, becoming the band's final top-10 hit in the UK.{{cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/28015/east-17/|title=East 17|publisher=Official Charts Company|access-date=10 September 2020}} In November 2021, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) awarded the song a silver certification for sales and streams exceeding 200,000 units.
