New Beginning is the 2nd mini-album released by all-female Japanese hard rock band Band-Maid. It is the band's final release under Gump Records, as they joined Nippon Crown the following year. The album reached number. 64 on the Japanese Oricon Albums Chart. The album was originally scheduled to be released on November 4, 2015, but was pushed back two weeks.

New Beginning has been described as hard rock, and heavy metal and the band's sound has been compared to the likes of Disturbed, Lenny Kravitz and Skunk Anansie. Music videos were produced for the songs "Thrill," "Real Existence," and "Don't Let Me Down."
