The Beach Boys album from 1970 featuring “Add Some Music to Your Day” is Sunflower.
Sunflower was released on August 31, 1970, as the Beach Boys’ first album for Reprise Records. “Add Some Music to Your Day” was issued earlier, on February 23, as the album’s lead single, with “Susie Cincinnati” as its B-side. The song was written by Brian Wilson, Mike Love, and Joe Knott, a friend of Wilson who was not a professional songwriter.
The track presents music as an everyday presence, using the group’s familiar layered harmonies and shared lead vocals. It was the only Sunflower single to chart in the United States, reaching No. 64 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album itself received favorable critical notices but sold poorly, peaking at No. 151 in the United States.
A common mix-up is confusing Sunflower with Surf’s Up, the Beach Boys’ next studio album from 1971. “Add Some Music to Your Day” belongs to Sunflower, whose other notable songs include “This Whole World” and “Forever.”
