“New Day Will Rise” is the title of the song that will represent Israel at Eurovision 2025 in Basel, and it will be performed in four languages: English, Hebrew, French, and a short segment in Arabic. The song, written and composed by Keren Peles and musically produced by Tomer Biran, includes verses from the Song of Songs and will incorporate contemporary musical elements. The official music video will be submitted for approval to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) in the coming days.
The selection process for the song was meticulous, and it was chosen unanimously by a panel of judges that included senior music editors, music and television industry professionals, and a public representative. The song was selected about a month ago, and its preparation for performance included rich musical arrangements and adjustments for the Eurovision stage.
