Each Time

"Each Time" is the first single released by English pop band East 17 under the name "E-17", taken as the debut single from their fourth studio album, Resurrection. The song marks a major stylistic change for the band following their first split, the departure of member Tony Mortimer, and a change of record labels. Released as a single on 26 October 1998, "Each Time" became the band's final top-ten hit in their native United Kingdom, debuting at number two on the UK Singles Chart, as well as 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,[3] but the single version is extended to four minutes and one second.[1] 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.[4]

Critical reception

Music & Media magazine wrote that the band's new R&B sound fit them "surprisingly well".[4] 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".[4]

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-ten hit in the UK.[5][6] It also charted within the top 10 in Ireland, peaking at number nine.[7] In Europe, "Each Time" reached number 20 in Switzerland,[8] number 25 in Sweden,[9] and number 30 in Germany,[1] experiencing minor success in the Netherlands and the Flanders region of Belgium.[10][11] On the Eurochart Hot 100, it debuted and peaked at number 10.[12] In New Zealand, the single charted at number 23 on 30 May 1999, becoming the band's second-highest-peaking single there after "Around the World".[13] It was not as successful in Australia, stalling at number 83 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[14]
