"Rise" is a song by English singer Gabrielle. It was written by Gabrielle, Ollie Dagois and Ferdy Unger-Hamilton and produced by Jonny Dollar for her same-titled third studio album (1999). 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's western drama film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973). Dylan liked "Rise" so much that he allowed Gabrielle to use the sample for free, while receiving a co-writer credit for providing the song's chord progression and vocal sample.
Released as the second single from the album, the song reached number one on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in January 2000, becoming her second chart topper. "Rise" also reached number one in Ireland and charted highly in Austria, Norway, and New Zealand, where it reached number two in April/May and ended 2000 as New Zealand's third best-selling single, behind "I'm Outta Love" by Anastacia and "Never Be the Same Again" by Melanie C. In the United Kingdom, "Rise" has sold 460,000 copies.
