"What a Diff'rence a Day Made" is a 1934 song originally written in Spanish by the Mexican songwriter María Grever under the title "Cuando vuelva a tu lado" ["When I Return to Your Side"]. It is also known in English by several similar titles, including versions with or without the apostrophe in the word "Difference", ending with either "Made" or "Makes", and with or without a final exclamation mark.

The English lyrics of the song were written in 1934 by Stanley Adams and the same year first recored by Jimmy Ague; that version was popularized by Dinah Washington in 1959, under the title "What a Diff'rence a Day Makes". (The album the song appeared on was titled What a Diff'rence a Day Makes!.)[1]scope: entire paragraph

Angelina first sang the song in early July 2014, about six weeks after she had won Norske Talenter, at the Allsang på Grensen show. She performed it numerous times throughout the next couple of years, both at guest appearances and at her own concerts. She also recorded it in 2015 for her 2017 EP Angelina Jordan – The EP. Her last known performance was in early fall of 2018 at a private wedding.
