Yuna’s optimistic new track reminds that we “can rise with the sun” and herald a new day. Yuna says she wrote “New Day” with a hopeful mindset. “Everyone should be given an opportunity to be the best version of themselves,” says Yuna. “When children are immunized, it’s really the beginning of a new day for them. Once they are protected from disease, they have a much better chance to live life to the fullest.”

Yegna is an Ethiopian girl band that sings about social change to help improve the lives of millions of girls. For this song, they have joined more than 30 other artists as a part of The Art of Saving a Life, a collection of stories about the life-saving power of immunization.
