Here’s my hot take: “Ordinary days” is the most important thing milet released in 2021—not because it charted highest (it did fine), but because it set the table for visions .
But milet? She did something characteristically milet.
Yes, that one. Released in April 2021 as a promotional single for her album visions , “Ordinary days” is the sonic equivalent of watching rain streak down a window while you’re wearing a cashmere sweater. But here’s the twist: it was a promotional single for a drama . Specifically, Kikazaru Koi ni wa Riyuu ga Atte (aka Why I Dress Up for Love ).
If you missed this release because you were waiting for a “big” milet banger in 2021, go back. Put on headphones. Lie on the floor. And let a promo track break your heart.
Listen to “Ordinary days” (and the rest of ‘visions’) now. You’re welcome.
Most promotional singles are throwaways—the song the label forces out to remind streaming algorithms you exist. But “Ordinary days” was the opposite. It was a quiet, brooding, folk-tinged whisper in a sea of loud anison rock.
