Sebastian Ingrosso Releases Awaited Céline Dion ID, "A New Day"
“I’ve always loved that song. I wasn’t trying to remake it, just felt like that moment could live in a darker, more euphoric space," Ingrosso tells Beatportal.

Since 2024, Sebastian Ingrosso has led Céline Dion’s vocals into an unlikely setting: the dance/electronic festival circuit.
It’s not the first place one would expect to hear the Canadian singer’s soprano, but like Ingrosso, Axwell, and Steve Angello, some combinations just work well together, and this is one of them. The Swede’s audacious, synth-driven reflection on Dion’s 2002 single, “A New Day Has Come,” first arrested audiences when it premiered during Axwell Λ Ingrosso’s set at MDLBEAST Soundstorm last year. In the seven months that followed, the ID steadily gained traction, echoing across major festivals like Ultra Europe and Tomorrowland. Distinguished by its unique ability to transfix crowds by creating a cerebral and deeply moving moment in which past meets present, “A New Day” surged in popularity, exposing a new generation to the classic in step.
“I’ve always loved that song,” Ingrosso tells Beatportal. “I wasn’t trying to remake it, just felt like that moment could live in a darker, more euphoric space. So we built something around it that made sense in the night. Always with full respect to Céline and what the original meant to so many.”
Listen below.
In addition to featuring Dion’s vocals, the single uses a promotional image for her 1999 album Falling Into You as its cover art.
“A New Day (feat. Céline Dion)” is out now via Swedish House Mafia’s SUPERHUMAN MUSIC. Buy it on Beatport.
