One of Those Days

"One of Those Days" was written by Kevin Briggs, Dwight Reynolds and Patrice Stewart for Whitney Houston's fifth studio album Just Whitney (2002). The Isley Brothers are also credited as writers as the song features a sample of their song "Between the Sheets" (1983). In an interview with TMHEntertainment, Reynolds said that the song was not intentionally written for Houston. One day, while Reynolds was at Shek'speare's studio, The Music House, Houston and her husband Bobby Brown visited them. At that time, Shek'speare had a few instrumental tracks put up, and according to Reynolds, "the vibe was set" immediately.{{cite web|url=http://www.tmhentertainment.com/interviews/skrapp.htm|title=Interview > Dwight "Lil' Skrapp" Reynolds|publisher=TMHEntertainment|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030205120809/http://www.tmhentertainment.com/interviews/skrapp.htm|archive-date=2003-02-05|access-date=2011-11-08}} Shek'speare and Reynolds started discussing the ideas for the songs; Houston also contributed her views and ideas, and rejected the ones that she felt did not suit her. Shek'speare and Reynolds penned three songs that day, two of which are featured on the album, "One of Those Days" and "Dear John Letter". The song was produced by Briggs and was recorded at Atlanta Premier Recordings, Atlanta, by Ben Briggs III, and was mixed by Kevin "KD" Davis.

The song was released as the second single from the album in many countries, except the United Kingdom,Halstead, Craig - Whitney Houston: For the Record, pp 95-96. Authors Online.
