"New Day Will Rise" is the debut single by Israeli singer Yuval Raphael, written by Keren Peles and produced by Tomer Biran. It was released on 9 March 2025 through Tedy Productions. The song represented Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, where it finished second with 357 points.
The song is described by Israeli media outlets alongside Peles as a song that advocates growth and hope through hard times for Israelis. The song received mixed reception from both Israeli and international media, drawing some praise for Raphael's vocals and the song's musical composition. However, it also received heavy criticism for its perceived generic nature and the inclusion of French within the song; the latter criticism came primarily from Israeli media. "New Day Will Rise" enjoyed commercial success in its native country, peaking at number one.
