JR JR was formed in late 2009 by members Joshua Epstein and Daniel Zott. The band also includes drummer Mike Higgins and the group’s newest addition, keyboardist Jon Visger. The band initially began as a basement recording project with few intentions of reaching the public.
In July 2010, the band released Horsepower EP via Quite Scientific Records. The Horsepower EP consisted of songs “Nothing But Our Love,” “Vocal Chords,” “Simple Girl,” and a cover of The Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows.” Months after their EP was released the band’s genre was described as ‘psych-retro pop,’ ‘an inspired mix of hip-hop and folk,’ ‘minimalist altera-pop,’ and ‘beach wave.’ The band came out with a second EP titled My Love Is Easy: Remixes Pt.1 via Quite Scientific Records on November 2, 2010. They were noted as ‘one of the best new bands’ of 2010 and became very well-liked from various sources such as Stereogum, SPIN, Under the Radar, Real Detroit, and The Metro Times. The band later came out with We Almost Lost Detroit EP via Warner Bros. Records and Quite Scientific Records on April 21, 2011. The duo released two singles, “Morning Thought” and “Simple Girl” on April 8, 2011 and September 9, 2011; respectively.
Then-Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. released their first full-length album, It’s A Corporate World on June 7, 2011 via Warner Bros. Records and Quite Scientific Records.
The band came out with their new single, “If You Didn’t See Me (Then You Weren’t On The Dancefloor)” on April 2, 2013. This single was released right before they came out with their new EP, Patterns. The band performed live on May 16, 2013 on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic to premier a few songs on their upcoming album. The featured songs included: “Hiding,” “Run,” “Mesopotamia,” “If You Didn’t See Me (Then You Weren’t On The Dancefloor),” “Dark Water,” “Knock Louder,” “War Zone,” “Don’t Tell Me,” and “I Think Of You.” They also performed on the TV series Conan, June 11, 2013, featuring the song “If You Didn’t See Me (Then You Weren’t On The Dancefloor).”
Patterns (EP) was released on April 16, 2013, consisting of four songs: “If You Didn’t See Me (Then You Weren’t On The Dancefloor),” “Dark Water,” “Hiding,” and “Habits.” Their 13-track sophomore LP, The Speed of Things, was released on October 8, 2013.
JR JR's first release under their new, shorter moniker on July 16, 2015 was the single "Gone," to be featured on their upcoming LP "Jr Jr," slated for a September 25, 2015 release.

Day In Day Out
Jr Jr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What it must be like to live in your mind
Nothing compares to the feeling I had
When you were mine
Heard Hallelujah
There was no one there to catch the baton
Hope you get back to the place where that came from
And I keep gettin' in my way
Oh, oh, oh gettin' in my way
'Cause if you wanna be, a memory
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
Sing along that perfect melody
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
If you wanna live forever
Make 'em all remember
Your day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
I thought I lost you
Turns out I never lost you at all
But every time I walked into a room
Heard you in the hall
And I keep gettin' in my way
Oh, oh, oh gettin' in my way
'Cause if you wanna be, a memory
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
Sing along that perfect melody
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
If you wanna live forever, make 'em all remember
Your day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out, oh
I, still got you on my mind
Still got you on my mind
And I hate to think what I'd do
Alone and lonesome for you
Still hear you in the hall
Took your pictures off the wall
And I'd hate to think what I do
Alone and lonesome
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
If you wanna be, a memory
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
Sing along that perfect melody
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
If you wanna live forever, make 'em all remember
Your day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
Day in, day in, day out
The lyrics of "Day In Day Out" reflect a sense of longing for a past relationship. The opening lines invite the listener to imagine what it must be like to live in the other person's mind, and how nothing compares to the feeling the singer had in the past when the two were still together. The line "Heard Hallelujah" suggests that the breakup may have been sudden and unexpected, leaving the singer feeling alone and unprepared. The chorus repeats a plea to be remembered, and the desire to create a lasting memory through music.
The second verse suggests that despite the passing of time, the singer still thinks about their ex. The repeated line "Still got you on my mind" confirms this. The feelings of loss and regret are palpable in the lines "Took your pictures off the wall / And I'd hate to think what I'd do / Alone and lonesome." Despite the pain, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer urging the listener to "live forever" and make a lasting impact on the world.
Overall, "Day In Day Out" is a poignant reflection on lost love and the importance of leaving a lasting legacy.
Line by Line Meaning
Try to imagine
Put yourself in someone else's shoes
What it must be like to live in your mind
Wondering what it's like to experience thoughts and emotions unique to someone else
Nothing compares to the feeling I had
I experienced an unmatched sensation
When you were mine
During the time when we were together
Heard Hallelujah
I heard a joyful exclamation
There was no one there to catch the baton
The happiness was not continued or shared
Hope you get back to the place where that came from
I hope that the happiness returns to the source it originated from
'Cause you belong
Because you are meant to be there
And I keep gettin' in my way
I am hindering my own progress
Oh, oh, oh gettin' in my way
My actions are preventing what I desire
'Cause if you wanna be, a memory
If you want to be remembered
Day in, day in, day out
Consistently, every day
Sing along that perfect melody
Join in on the beautiful song
If you wanna live forever, make 'em all remember
If you want to have a lasting legacy, make sure you are not forgotten
I thought I lost you
I believed that I lost you completely
Turns out I never lost you at all
You were never truly gone from my life
But every time I walked into a room
Every time I entered a new place
Heard you in the hall
I thought I heard your voice nearby
I, still got you on my mind
I am still thinking about you
And I hate to think what I'd do
I do not want to consider what I would do
Alone and lonesome for you
Feeling lonely without you
Still hear you in the hall
I still imagine hearing your voice nearby
Took your pictures off the wall
I removed the pictures of you from my wall
Day in, day in, day out
Every single day without fail
If you wanna live forever, make 'em all remember
In order to be immortal, make sure your memory lives on
Day in, day in, day out
Every single day without fail
Day in, day in, day out
Every single day without fail
Day in, day in, day out
Every single day without fail
Sing along that perfect melody
Join in singing the beautiful tune
If you wanna be, a memory
If you want to be remembered
Day in, day in, day out
Consistently, every day
If you wanna live forever, make 'em all remember
If you want to have a lasting legacy, make sure you are not forgotten
Day in, day in, day out
Every single day without fail
Day in, day in, day out
Every single day without fail
Day in, day in, day out
Every single day without fail
Day in, day in, day out, oh
Every single day without fail
