Earthly Days is the debut studio album from Canadian singer-songwriter William Prince, released December 11, 2015. The album was originally released independently, before receiving wider commercial rerelease in 2018 on Glassnote Records in the United States and Six Shooter Records in Canada.
Prince has said that the album took ten years to make. According to him, "I was trying to put out a record since I was about 20 years old, and it wasn't until I was 29 that it actually happened. I ran into a lot of a lot of things on the way, personally and financially; the things that stop you from wanting to put your art out. You name it, it was there. I worked with a bad producer in the beginning who took all my money, and it ended with my father passing away six months before the record was supposed to come out. I believe in everything happening at the right time. I think all that suffering and wondering would have been for nothing if I didn't put out a record. If you don't put anything out how do you know you're getting any better, or growing, or changing, or evolving in any way? I got the money together and I was able to finally record some songs in Winnipeg."
The album was produced by Scott Nolan, and includes contributions from Lynn Miles. The 2018 reissue featured a new rerecording of "Breathless" produced by Dave Cobb, which reached #22 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts in 2018.
