"Rise" is a popular single by Gabrielle. It was her second number one single in the UK Singles Chart.[1] The song was the title-track and second single from her third studio album.

Written by Gabrielle, Ollie Dagois and Ferdy Unger-Hamilton and produced by Jonny Dollar, the song reached number one on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in January 2000.[1]

The song has sold 460,000 copies in the UK as stated by the Official UK Charts Company. It was the eighth best selling single in 2000 in the UK.

"Rise" is notable for a rare authorised use of a Bob Dylan sample. It takes extensively from his 1973 song "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", which was produced for the soundtrack of Sam Peckinpah film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, and Dylan liked the song so much that he allowed Gabrielle to use the sample for free.[2] Dylan receives a co-writer credit for providing the song's chord progression and vocal sample.

The song has been covered by Jamaican singer Mr. Vegas.
