Content
"8th Day" is a traditional-leaning country song with lyrics that celebrate farmers and country girls. Inspired by the biblical passage outlining what God created on the first days of existence, the song "pays homage to strong, confident and sometimes-complicated women who were finely crafted to be in this world." Its celebratory nature has been compared to that of Brody's first chart-topper, "Canadian Girls" (2012).

Release and promotion
"8th Day" was released to radio on November 1, 2017. The following week, November 8, was dubbed "National Country Girls Day." Fans were encouraged to share stories of the country girls in their life to social media using the pseudo-holiday as a hashtag as part of a week-long promotional campaign to win a signed poster from Brody.

Charts
