įilming the video for the single started on Octoin Los Angeles with director Bille Woodruff (known for such classic Braxton videos as " Un-Break My Heart" and " He Wasn't Man Enough"). There are two versions of the music video for "Yesterday": one for the original solo version and one for the remix featuring Trey Songz. Mikael Wood from Los Angeles Times said: "Opener 'Yesterday' cribs its twinkly emo-soul texture (and some of its airy vocal melody) from Beyoncé's ' Broken-Hearted Girl'". Andy Kellman from Allmusic said: "'Yesterday' is a bitter breakup ballad in which the teeth-clenched 'I don’t love ya/Don’t need ya/Can’t stand ya no more' sounds very real". Mark Edward Nero from say, positively, "Arguably the best song on Pulse is the passionately bitter break-up song "Yesterday", but interestingly, the better of two versions of the song isn't included on the album's standard version". In fact, when she growls those last three words, it's almost like she never went away.
Nick Levine from Digital Spy rated the song 3 out of 5 stars and favorably reviewed the solo version of the song, saying: "'Yesterday' shares a little too much of its DNA with Beyoncé's ' Halo' to satisfy fully, but sounds as seductive as ever crooning the surprisingly bitter lyrics - ("I don't love you, don't need you, can't stand you,") she insists on the middle 8. The song received positive reviews from music critics. "Yesterday" is Braxton's first single release in the UK since " Hit the Freeway" in 2003, as Libra was only available on import and no singles from the album were released there.Ī Spanish version of the track, titled "Ayer", was recorded with Alexander Acha but remains unreleased to this day. In the United Kingdom, the song was supposed to be released on February 22, 2010, but ultimately the single release date was moved to May 3, 2010. It is Braxton's first single released under Atlantic Records.
The song was released on Braxton's official website on September 29, 2009, after four years in hiatus.
