"New Song" is the title of the debut single by musician Howard Jones, released in September 1983. The song was from the album Human's Lib, and reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart. The single spent 20 weeks on the Top 75.
The B-side was titled "Change the Man". The 12" single featured an extended version of "New Song" together with "Change the Man" and the original version of "Conditioning", which would be re-recorded for Human's Lib.
"New Song" itself was later re-recorded for The 12" Album, in a version titled "New Song (New Version)". This featured a lot of multi-layered piano, in contrast to the austere synth sound of the original 7" and 12" versions.
On the UK 7" single, the song's lyric is printed in a spiral on the A-side label, with all the credits printed on the B-side.
The song can be heard in the movie Supergirl.
