Will.i.am to release Barack Obama song

Rapper celebrates senator's US election win

Barack Obama delivers his acceptance speech

Barack Obama's grandmother died this week

Will.i.am has written a new track to mark Barack Obama’s win in the US presidential election.

The Black Eyed Peas singer was editing the final version of It's A New Day when the senator delivered his acceptance speech in Chicago.

The single, complete with music video, will be released on the dipdive website tonight.

‘The whole thing is really for people to leave testimonials,’ Will.i.am tells the BBC.

‘To create a page and leave testimonials on how they feel about this American accomplishment.’

Barack, 47, is the first African-American US president, winning the election over rival John McCain, 72.
