Release and promotion
On a Day... was originally released by Emilie Autumn on her own record label, Traitor Records. Although it was recorded in 1997, it was not released until 2000.
The album was re-released digitally by Trisol Music Group in 2005. At the 2005 release Autumn said she considered it "more of a demo despite its length", and released it as "a saleable album" after fans who enjoyed her "rock performances starting asking for a classical album so that they could hear more of the violin".
The album was re-recorded and re-released as "Laced" on Emilie's second instrumental album Laced / Unlaced.
