Australian singer-songwriter Julia Jacklin has recorded a cover of Sugar Ray’s 1999 hit “Every Morning” for Triple J’s Like A Version series. She described the song as a lifelong favourite that helps her connect with her younger self, while the article notes that her slower, hazier interpretation differs markedly from the original.

Jacklin said the song’s energetic feel makes her grateful to be alive, and recalled that it was a top-20 pop hit in Australia when she was eight. The cover arrives ahead of her new album, The Gem, due on 25 September via 4AD; its singles “Get Away From Me (I Think I’ll Love You Soon)” and “I Wish” have already been released.
