In 2005 , Girls Aloud made a cover version of the song, which they later released as a single. The single was released only five weeks after their previous single, "Biology," and it was also released two weeks after their album and during the Christmas rush. It became the lowest placing single from the girl group, charting at #9. In the UK it has sold in excess of 60,000 copies. On 16 June 2006 Girls Aloud won the Heart Award for "See the Day" at the O2 Silver Clef Lunch, an annual awards honouring songwriting and performance in aid of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy. Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh, members of the band, attended the awards presentation ceremony.

Lucy Benjamin performed a version of "See the Day" on Celebrity X Factor that was credited as "Girls Aloud". Following the final and Benjamin's victory, the single re-entered the Top 200.


Music video

, Sarah Harding , Nicola Roberts (laying), Nadine Coyle & Kimberley Walsh .]]
The video for "See the Day" featured the members of Girls Aloud clad in frilly white dresses in an icy winter setting, sitting and laying in snow (which was actually salt) as digitized snowflakes fell from the starry black sky.

Occasionally words from the chorus of the song were spelt in the sky with stars as the shot is pulled back.

Group shots were Tableau -like, and occasionally the shot pulled back to reveal that the girls were inside of a snowglobe being held in someone's hand.

The video was shot by the same director of " Biology " and in the same studio.
