"These Days" is the third single by Australian pop group Bardot, released in August 2000 on the back of their first national tour. It debuted and peaked at No. 19 on the ARIA Singles chart and was certified gold. The single was available in two unique formats. CD 1 contained live tracks from their Sydney shows as well as an enhanced component featuring the "These Days" music clip, a screensaver and gallery. CD 2 was a remix disc. Bardot performed "These Days" at the 2000 ARIA Awards where the group was nominated for three awards. It was the 100th highest selling single in Australia of 2000.
The "These Days" music video begins with a dark opening sequence, featuring Katie Underwood in a gloomy hotel, washing her face in the bathroom. It then crosses to the five girls on a sunny beach with friends. The second verse features Belinda Chapple singing on the hotel balcony while the middle 8 features Sally in the bedroom. The clip ends with the five girls with a group of friends surrounding a fire on the beach during the night.
