Just one week after releasing her viral hit "Iran – DON'T SHOOT", a warning to Tehran against attacking Israel again, musician and entrepreneur Pnina Rosenblum is already fielding numerous requests to perform the song live.
In an interview with Israel Hayom, Rosenblum revealed she has been inundated with offers and pleas from fans to take her new topical anthem to the stage. "Everyone is asking me," she said. "People are sending me messages all day."
However, the 57-year-old singer-songwriter says she would only consider live performances if they were fundraising events for charities or non-profit organizations. "If I ever do a performance, it will only be if the entire event is a donation to some association or something," Rosenblum explained.
Her new musical release has struck a chord, racking up over 43,000 views on YouTube in just the first 24 hours, Rosenblum said. She attributes its rapid popularity to the song's uplifting, rhythmic melody at a time of tension and anxiety for Israel.
"It's a beautiful song, a song that brings joy amidst all the darkness surrounding us," she said "I wanted it to be rhythmic, something different. A little cheerful during this gloomy period that Israel is going through with the hostages and the evacuees."
The success of "Iran – DON'T SHOOT" follows Rosenblum's previous viral hit "Where Were You on 10/7?" which also became a ubiquitous anthem after its release last October. Despite mockery from some critics, Rosenblum brushes off the negative comments.
"With 'Where Were You on 7/10?', the result was that the song became a hit that every five-year-old child sings and every soldier sings," she said. "So I really don't care...it all comes from jealousy. All these songs are songs that everyone connects to."
Remarkably, Rosenblum revealed that the lyrics to "Iran - DON'T SHOOT" took her a few minutes to write, and it took just several more hours working with a producer to finalize the music, remix, and video.
