Kid Army commented ‘We have grown and matured more in our music after concentrating on several side projects for the past two years. We wanted our first single to really resonate with the mood of our fans and music lovers globally. In #NewDay, there is a message of new beginnings, leaving the past behind and focusing on a much more present/positive outcome.

To dedicate all the proceeds from our debut single to the #ProjectPhilippines2013 campaign is also very special to us as after touring and travelling worldwide. It is easy to see how much of a big impact we can all do by doing something really small to support our brothers and sisters worldwide at a desperate time of need‘.
