Boy George Says He Used AI To Create His New Pro-Israel Reggae Song
Boy George has revealed that he used artificial intelligence to help create "We Will Dance Again," a new reggae song expressing support for Israel, which he posted to his social media accounts. The song, which shares its title with a documentary about the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack on the Nova music festival, has drawn criticism for lyrics that dismiss characterisations of Israel's military campaign in Gaza as genocide, despite multiple United Nations inquiries reaching that conclusion, and for lyrics disparaging musicians who have spoken out against Israel.
The singer explained on Threads that he wrote the song with AI assistance, describing it as "AI for good" and saying he would have struggled to write it with a human collaborator. The track is currently only available on his social media rather than streaming platforms. Boy George, previously known for Culture Club's 1984 anti-war single "The War Song," has said in past interviews that his stance stems from personal loyalty to Jewish friends rather than a broader political position on the conflict.
