"30 Days" is a song by English-Irish girl group The Saturdays. It was released as the lead single from their fourth studio album, Living for the Weekend (2013). The single is their thirteenth release. It was released on 14 May 2012 in the UK and on 11 May 2012 in Ireland. The single debuted at number seven on UK Singles Chart, confirmed by the Official Charts Company.
Rochelle Wiseman explained the concept of the single, "It’s a really amazing, catchy song but the sentiment behind it is being all excited and counting down the days to seeing someone when you’ve really been missing that person."
The single premiered live on BBC Radio 1 on "The Chris Moyles Show" on 30 March 2012. The song was released on 11 May 2012 in Ireland and 14 May 2012 in the United Kingdom.
The song has received mixed to positive response from critics and fans. Newsroom gave the song 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "30 Days is sure to fill the dance floor with its echoing beats. The chorus makes you want to throw your arms up and there's a brilliant drum fill after each verse which one music journalist said sounds like "A potato being thrown in a bin". The vocals are shared evenly between the girls and sound moody, although they've been edited a bit too much and some emotion and personality has gone. It's a shame because we know all the girls are great vocalists". Steroboard.com agreed writing "this track would have been perfect for the ‘On Your Radar’ album as it carries on the same dance feel the album had. ’30 Days’ is a very catchy track and has a very chart-friendly and club feel to it. It certainly seems that The Saturdays are trying to break away from the clean cut pop image that they burst onto the scene with; however I think the new dance sound with a touch of pop sound suits them". Robert Copsey of Digital Spy rated the single 4 out of 5 stars, writing a positive review about its "blend of plinky synths", "rumbling electro beats" and "addictive chorus" which is "cooler than a blast of Listerine."
