will.i.am to release another Barack Obama victory track

Rapper will.i.am will commemorate Barack Obama's election victory by releasing a new song in the U.S. President's honour.

The Black Eyed Peas star previously marked the politician's ascension to the White House in 2008 by writing a track called It's a New Day, and he spent the week leading up to Tuesday's American election penning another song.

Obama won a second term in power and will.i.am has now announced plans to release another victory anthem.

In a post on Twitter.com, he writes, "In 2008 I wrote It's a New Day 1 week before Barack Obama won... and last week I wrote another victory song... it will be out in 1 week."
