John Ondrasik, known professionally as the Grammy-nominated singer Five For Fighting, released a new song and accompanying music video in response to the Oct. 7 attack on Israel and the aftermath in the U.S. and around the world. The song, titled “OK,” begins with an excerpt from Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ speech following the attack, then transitions to Ondrasik’s lyrics stating, “This is a time for choosing, this is a time to mourn.” The chorus relays a simple message shared by many in the aftermath of the attack: “We are not OK.” Alongside lyrics bemoaning a loss of morality in modern society, the music video features images from the Oct. 7 attacks and ensuing acts of antisemitism and pro-Hamas activism. The video takes aim at everyone, from students harassing Jewish peers on campus to politicians like Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. READ MORE
