"Rise" is a popular single by Gabrielle. It was her second number one single in the UK (and thus far, last). The song was the title-track and second single from her third studio album.

Written by Gabrielle, Ollie Dagois, Ferdy Unger-Hamilton and Bob Dylan and produced by Johnny Dollar, the song reached number one on the UK singles chart for two weeks in January 2000.

"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" and Dylan liked the song so much that he allowed Gabrielle to use the sample for free.[citation needed]
