Background
The band said in a statement that the song is about overcoming adversity. "We're so excited to announce our new single Sun Comes Up, a song we wrote about overcoming adversity. We spent a long time looking for the right singer for it, and were close to giving up until we met James Arthur, he sang it and we were blown away. We aren't afraid of taking new directions, and our new material has stepped up to another level. We've travelled the world far and wide and finally we feel like we've returned home on this album."{{cite news|last=Robin|first=Murray|title=Rudimental Nab James Arthur For 'Sun Goes Up'|url=http://www.clashmusic.com/news/rudimental-nab-james-arthur-for-sun-goes-up|accessdate=16 July 2017|work=Clash|date=30 June 2017}}{{cite news|last=InqPOP!|title=Rudimental announce their official single "Sun Comes Up" feat.

We didn't care where he came from. We thought his voice was amazing, unique," Rudimental told London Evening Standard.{{cite news|last=David|first=Smyth|title=Rudimental interview: 'It's actually a blessing not being as famous as our singers'|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/goingout/music/rudimental-interview-it-s-actually-a-blessing-not-being-as-famous-as-our-singers-a3576976.html|accessdate=16 July 2017|work=London Evening Standard|date=30 June 2017}} Kesi Dryden of Rudimental said that the song is about "a relationship breakup and how there is a new day when the sun comes up". "But when James heard the song he said the message he got from it was there has been a lot of negative times in the past but when the sun comes up it is a new day, you have a new chance. There was a new lease of life he got from it."{{cite news|last=Bang|first=Showbiz|title=Rudimental and James Arthur put 'negative past' behind them on new song|url=https://www.list.co.uk/article/92663-rudimental-and-james-arthur-put-negative-past-behind-them-on-new-song/|accessdate=16 July 2017|work=The List|date=20 June 2017}}{{cite news|last1=Katrina|first1=Rees|title=Rudimental and James Arthur team up to release 'Sun Comes Up'|url=http://celebmix.com/rudimental-james-arthur-sun-comes/|accessdate=16 July 2017|work=CelebMix|date=2 July 2017}}
Critical reception
Robin Murray of Clash magazine described the song as "fusing underground sounds with some of the freshest pop hooks in the land". "James Arthur voices new single 'Sun Goes Up', and it's summertime feel is much-needed following a few dark weeks for the capital." Philippine Daily Inquirer wrote: "'Sun Comes Up' is a touching glimpse into how they've grown, both as individuals and as a band, and the various struggles they have been through to overcome adversity to get where they are today." Katrina Rees of CelebMix wrote: "The track opens with a gentle melody before an infectious beat kicks in which complements James' vocals. The chorus is euphoric and tinged with steel drums which creates the perfect summer atmosphere. We can already imagine that this song will be electric live and we can't wait to bop along to it at future festivals."
