Background
In 2000, Dion announced that she was taking a break from her career. During the time away, she focused on her personal life and gave birth to her first child.[1] After two years, Dion announced her return and admitted she was eager to get back into the studio:
"I couldn't wait to go back into the recording studio. And, I loved the songs that people wrote for me on this album. Those songs became even closer to me because, the fact that I took two years off, they wrote songs for me that were even closer to my emotions. I had things to talk about. I had things to sing about. It was a fun adventure, no pressure, relaxed, smooth, powerful but controlled. I really had a wonderful time. And to see my friends again, it was great."[1]
"A New Day Has Come" was released on 6 February 2002 to radio stations in the US.[2] It was released on 11 March 2002 internationally.[3] In October 2008, "A New Day Has Come" was included on the compilation My Love: Essential Collection.[4]
Composition
"A New Day Has Come" was written by Aldo Nova and Stephan Moccio and produced by Walter Afanasieff, Nova and Ric Wake (the latter only produced the "radio edit").[5] The song also features additional production from Richie Jones, Christian B, and Marc Dold.[5] The song has two versions: the piano-driven ballad in 6
8 time and the midtempo radio version in common time. Both versions are available on the album.[5][6] Both versions of the song are written in the key of F♯ major. The original version of the song features a slow tempo of 40 beats per minute,[7] while the radio remix features one of 92 beats per minute.[8]
Lyrically, the song is about the world thinking that she has it all, but she draws us in to the sadness she must have experienced with life issues, such as her older husband being ill and knowing that she had problems conceiving a baby.
According to Dion, the song is about her son:
"For me, this represents the birth of my child. Nothing can ever come close to that. But it can mean different things for anyone who has to find strength again. I think it's very positive."[11]
