Pop icon Boy George on Monday debuted a new pop-reggae single titled “We Will Dance Again”, explicitly voicing support for Israel’s counterterrorism efforts, The Guardian reported. The track opens with direct lyrics confronting criticisms of the war: “You say genocide, I say war / When you’re attacked, that’s what the army’s for / Does it get ugly? You bet it does / When I know you wanna kill every last one of us.” In the song, the singer points to Hamas’s October 2023 attack on the Nova music festival, stating that slain civilians were “murder[ed] … for the crime of dancing.” The central motif, “We Will Dance Again,” mirrors a phrase embraced by Israelis as a symbol of resilience following October 7, which also served as the title for a critically acclaimed documentary on the attack. In the chorus, the artist declares: “There will be no war / But if you’re ever confused / I stand with the Jews / I don’t feel brave, I just need to behave like a human.” READ MORE
