Will.I.Am Releasing Obama Victory Song

Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.I.Am pre-recorded his new song 'It's A New Day' in support of Barack Obama's presidential victory. The song will debut today on his website dipdive.com

Like his previous viral video, Will.I.Am called on his celebrity friends to send their video testimonials and edited them last night. "This was inspired by . It's about Obama winning, and really paying tribute to those people who are responsible for that happening, and that's the American people," he said in a statement. "The whole thing is really for people to leave testimonials ... to create a page and leave testimonials on how they feel about this American accomplishment."

Earlier this year, Will released the song 'Yes We Can' in support of Obama. The popular video collage featured celebrities such as John Legend, Nicole Scherzinger, and Common.
