The New Day

The New Day is the seventh track from Greta Van Fleet's debut studio album, Anthem of the Peaceful Army.

Background
Jake Kiszka said the song has been with the band for a few years and it was conceived during a winter blizzard with no power while the band were at home, in Frankenmuth.

About the song
The song is described as an acoustic ballad with upbeat riffs, raw acoustic guitar melodies and wavy vocals. Lyrically, it talks about growing up and blooming into a metaphorical “new day”, or a new phase of life.

Critical Reception
PopMatters compared the song with the previous album track, You're the One, and praised its chorus and post-chorus, saying: "[The song] is more of the same, except its chorus has a solid melody and an even better post-chorus."
