"A New Day" is a single by English post-punk band Killing Joke. It was released by E.G. Records in July 1984 as a 7-inch and 12-inch single. The B-side to the 7" release was a remix of the song, named "Dance Day". The single reached No. 51 in the UK Singles Chart.[1] [2] A promotional video was filmed for the song, the first time the band made a video for a non-album single.
The song was later included on the 2008 reissue of Night Time. "Dance Day" was later included on the compilation "Wilful Days" (mistakenly titled "A New Day").
The 7-inch single featured "Dance Day" as the B-side. The 12" single featured a dub mix of "A New Day" as its A-side and the original track as the B-side. A 7" release in Portugal used a shorter edit of "A New Day" instead.[3]
