"Seven Whole Days" is the third single from Toni Braxton's self-titled debut album, Toni Braxton (1993). The track describes a romance that was fading. As the single was not commercially released in the United States, it was ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, and only managed to chart on the Hot 100 Airplay at number forty-eight in early March 1994. Nevertheless, it successfully topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay in late January 1994.

"Seven Whole Days" is featured on The Essential Toni Braxton and Playlist: The Very Best of Toni Braxton.[1][2]

Music video

The video was shot while Braxton was on tour with her four sisters Traci, Towanda, Trina and Tamar featured as background singers. It was released in 1993 and directed by Lionel C. Martin.[3] The video was later released on Braxton's VEVO channel on October 25, 2009. The video is seen in colour and black and white.[4]
