On this encore episode of The Story Behind the Song, hear Boy George discuss "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" and more.
One of the most popular and influential bands of the 1980s, Culture Club could be considered the original new wave boyband. They fused the sounds of new wave, pop, and reggae to create a unique sound that was both catchy and stylish.
Boy George discusses the hit song's mix of love, loss, and social commentary, and how it resonated with audiences around the world. Additionally, as he and Culture Club continue to tour and perform, the artist touches on how the song has grown from its origins.
