Remembering the Nova Music Festival Through Song
The song references the Nova music festival massacre, where hundreds of people were killed. In the track, Boy George draws attention to the victims and argues that the events of October 7 should not be overlooked when discussing the war that followed.
The track includes lyrics in Hebrew, and its title appears in both Hebrew and English. It shares a message of resilience through the act of dancing. Elsewhere in the song, Boy George speaks out against propaganda and expresses solidarity with Israel and hope for a future without war.
A Strong Connection to Israel and the Jewish People
Boy George has stood with Israel on several previous occasions, according to The Jerusalem Post. In the video for the Culture Club song “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?,” his clothing featured Tarbut Aguda in Hebrew letters, which roughly means “culture association.” The appearance of Hebrew words in the popular music video was warmly received by many Israelis.

The pop icon has performed in Israel, both independently and as part of Culture Club. His musical ties to the country include his work with Israeli musician Asaf Goren on “Rainbow in the Dark” in 2020, a song featuring English and Hebrew lyrics. Four years later, he was among more than 400 public figures who signed an open letter backing Israel’s participation in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Boy George’s efforts show how music can be a powerful way to stand beside communities and preserve the memory of those affected by tragedy. By using his voice to support others, he demonstrates how artists can help bring people together and carry a message of hope.
